Trading David Wright

Postby Paws » Wed Nov 26, 2008 1:40 pm

I am in a 12 team H2H keeper league. My team did awful last year. I was in last plae before playoff. Moved up to 8th by the end got lucky and won my first two consilation games.

Anyway I have been offered Alexe Ramirez and Alfonso Soriano for David Wright. This is the last year I can keep Wright same with Soriano but could have Ramirez for two more years. Does this seam like a good move?

Absolutely not. You'd be trading quality for quantity.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.

As others have said, this isn't the right deal.

That said, if you're not going to win next year (and if you were in last place last year and your league keeps a lot of players, you probably won't), then you should move Wright to a contender. I'd look to restock the farm with several high-upside players signed to longterm deals.

David Wright is, it could be argued, the best keeper in a keeper league. He is young and has shown to be consistent year in and year out and plays 3B. No way do you do this.

The anti has just been raise to include Votto or Zambrono. Three for one. Is this still just trading for quanity. If I did it would I still just keep 4 players.
