Dynasty trade ?

Postby BigLebowski » Sat Nov 29, 2008 1:09 pm

I play in a dynasty league and am looking to deal Chipper Jones. He is a phenominal player to have when healthy, but that isn't a full season anymore, and he is getting old.

Would you do this trade?

Chipper Jones and Billy Butler
for
Aramis Ramirez

Butler has a ton of potential, but he is just wasting away on my bench right now.

I would stick with Chipper and Butler. Aramis isn't an upgrade from Chipper over the next 2 years regardless of time missed and you are probably selling Butler at his lowest value.

I wouldnt do that deal. You'll be kicking yourself by moving Butler in a Dynasty. If you are looking to pickup a new 3B, I would maybe shop Butler to the owner who has Alex Gordon.

Gordon took some small steps forward this year and I think for next season he's poised for a nice breakout, maybe nothing earth shattering, but a nice season. At least that way, even though you lose Butlers potential, you gain Gordon's who's probably just as dangerous with the bat.

It'll also give you a nice stopgap when Chipper gets hurt.
