Pujols & Texeira

[cwhitty]

Keeper League-Do I do this trade?

I give Tex & David Price
I get Pujols & Cliff Lee

Keepers would be:
1B-Albert Pujols
2B-Brian Roberts
SS-Alexei Ramirez
3B-Alex Rodriguez
OF-Curtiss Granderson

SP-Ervin Santana
SP-James Shields
SP-Cliff Lee
SP-Adam Wainright
SP-Max Scherzer

Whew. Tough call. I'm not real high on Lee, but I'm not sure Price lives up to the hype...this year.

Pujols is clearly ahead of Tex, in my book. I'd rather have him, and then you're taking a chance. Who knows if Price will ever work out? Sure, it seems like he will, but that's no guarantee. Will Lee repeat last year's numbers, or at least his 18 win season numbers of a couple of years ago? Maybe. I'd probably take Pujols and figure that it all will work itself out in the end in your advantage since you are getting Pujols.

How many keepers? Or is it a true dynasty?

I'm not sure my answer changes either way....as much as I love the potential of Price, I think you do this trade. Pujols obviously doesn't need explaining, and Lee just won a Cy. I don't think Lee will repeat, but I imagine he will be much more valuable than Price over at least this season, maybe even 2010 while Price figures MLB hitters out.

Can I get your thoughts on my post?

10 keepers. 4 hitters, 4 pitchers and my choice beyond that.

or I can take Phil Hughes instead of Cliff Lee, although I am leaning towards Lee.

You really can't go wrong either way. As the above poster said, Price may not live up to the hype right away, but it won't be long. But unlike a lot of guys on here, I think Lee will put up nice numbers again. Probably not like he did last year, but should be well above his career averages. I wouldn't even consider Hughes, and without a doubt, Pujols is quite a bit better than Tex.

Tough trade, but IMHO, you have to take this deal. If Price doesn't turn out as expected, you easily win this by a mile...Lee probably won't match his off-the-wall numbers from last season, but he is easily a top 15 pitcher if he replicates a fraction of what he did. Pujols is a no-brainer and is a significant upgrade from Teix. Pull the trigger and run like hell

Pujols is the best player in fantasy baseball. Tex is great, but honestly he doesn't come close.

Price is great, but he's probably a few years away from what he can really do. Lee was great last year, and if you look at his K/BB rate and GB% there's no reason to think he wont put up pretty good stats.

For next year:

Pujols >> Tex
Lee >>> Price

You just have to do this trade.

I don't like Lee that much. But still think Pujols over Tex is enough to pull the trigger

Pujols more consistant, and quietly they have gotten him protection in the lineup. I expect a big year outta Glaus and their supporting OF.

Plus, their pitching will be healthier and lead to better happiness.

Don't buy into "Detroit Tiger Syndrome" They spent all the money last year and did it REALLY pay off?

I think the Yankees spedning will pay off with the playoffs but not with a world series.

gotat love tex's upside in NY, but Pujols come on there's a stark difference.
