Difficult trade WHIR

Postby Warrior24 » Mon Feb 16, 2009 3:41 pm

I am in a deep 12-18 flex , mixed keeper league. If we keep less then 18 we get an extra draft pick. For example, if I kept 16 players instead of 18 players, I would get two picks in the 17th and 18th round, while the people who kept 18 players would start drafting in the 19th round.

I was offered Chris Davis, Chris Perez, a 26th and 27th round pick for my 19th round and 20th round pick. If I were to do this trade, I would keep both of them.

My Roster
C Dioneer Navarro
1B Carlos Pena
2B Dan Uggla
3B Garrett Atkins
SS Stephen Drew
IF Jeff Keppinger
LF Delmon Young
CF Adam Jones
RF Bobby Abreu
OF Adam Lind
Util Mike Jacobs
Bench
Colby Rasmus
Travis Snyder
Travis Hafner
Carlos Guillen
pitching
Roy halladay
Scott Kazmir
David Price
Clayton Kershaw
Ubaldo Jimenez
Andrew Miller
Homer bailey
Mark Buerhle
Anibal Sanchez
Tony Pena
Taylor Buccholz

Right now my keepers without that trade woule Carlos Pena, Uggla, Atkins, Drew, Young, Jones, Abreu, Rasmus, Halladay, Kazmir, Price, Kershaw.

If I did that trade I would keep those and plus those 2 and I would 14 keepers. Which would mean I would be picking in the 15th round.

Should I do the trade?

How many teams?

So you're essentially trading away your 13th, 14th, 19th, and 20th round picks for Davis and Perez? Davis is definitely worth it, hard to say with Perez. Would really help to see who else you could be taking in the 13th and 14th if you didn't keep these two.

We haven't selected our keepers yet, but some of the first picks last year included Clayton Kershaw, Jay Bruce, Colby Rasmus, and Zach Grienke.

And I'm only giving the 19th and 20th. I am recieving the 26th and 27th btw.

But if you don't take the deal, you pick in the 13th? So in essence you do 'lose' your 13th and 14th picks for these two. Love to have Davis at that price, but without knowing who else you're passing on it's hard to say what the best move would be. I'm leaning towards do it.

It's hard to pass up Davis. But again it would be hard to evaluate this without knowing who is available. If this is a keeper league, I'd do it in a heartbeat..

I might also be able to trade my 19th or 20th for Davis and his 26th. Should i do that instead?

I would do it. Btw, Lind and Snider look like easy keeps in that deep league.
