Howard & Price for Pujols?

[GHirsch516]

Ive been offered Pujols for Howard & Price. This is the 3rd year in this CBS keeper league. I already have Dunn on my roster and Im liking this trade since I can shed some KO's. I'd like to get a few opinions on this. Thanks.

i'd take it, pujols is a beast. it sounds like your league counts Ks in which case its even better for you. howard's value goes down and pujols' value goes up.

I'd take Pujols over Howard too. Price is an X-factor but I think for the better or worse for a rookie pitcher, he's an extra price I'd be willing to pay for Pujols.

The above posters said it all. Howard is devalued by Ks, and Pujols is a top 3 pick. go get him.

Get Albert. The k's make the difference.

Im finding myself to be one of those people who go up in a plane to skydive and not being able to jump out. Ive been offered the deal and a 6th round pick was thrown in along with Alex Gordon and Javier Vazquez. Gordon and Javy really dont mean squat since I have no room for them. I may possibly be able to move them for another pick but doubt it. The real problem is giving up Howard and Price. Yes I know Howard K'd 200 times last season but he put up insane power numbers (again) and went on a tear in the post season. A guy with this much power really makes me think he still may not have hit his ceiling. If he developes some more patience at the plate

Im also having a problem giving up Price. He's been hyped for quite some time and I understand you never know what your going to get with a rookie. But the little I saw of him in the playoffs seemed to have made things a bit more clear what some of the hype was about.

So the choice is obvious that Pujols is a better pick over Howard but nobody thinks this is a bad trade including Price in this deal? I know the answer to this involves a crystal ball but is there anyone who would keep Howard and Price over Pujols?

Stop being a wuss and take the trade. In a league that counts Ks, Pujols is supremely valued. He's also capable of putting up similar power numbers to Howard.
