Keeper league (can keep 7 players). Auction, 5x5 Roto, $260 budget, 17 active players, 10 bench players.
I am offering Mike Pelfrey ($3) and Adam Jones ($4) for Curtis Granderson ($10) to an owner who likes Jones and only has 5 good priced keepers. I like this trade for me (I can't keep both Pelfrey and Jones anyway). But is this a good trade for the other guy? In other words, if any of you were short on keepers, would you take Jones and Pelfrey for Granderson?
So far my keepers are: ARod - $37 J Beckett - $17 E Santana - $7 J Danks - $3 K Wood - $6 J Broxton - $4 M Pelfrey - $3 OR Adam Jones $4
$10 for Granderson looks cheap, even though I'm not a huge fan of his. Long term, I like Adam Jones better than Granderson, but this season Granderson should have the better season. Mike Pelfrey is just meh IMO. He's serviceable in a deep league, but he probably shouldn't be owned in a 12 team league.
I'm on the fence on this one. But I would probably go for Granderson. It's worth a try.
A side from Jose Reyes Granderson had more triples then anyone else in the MLB last season, he's a great lead off guy and scores a ton of runs even if he doesn't steal that many bases. I don't think Pelfrey will ever be as good as he was projected to be and to be honest his numbers from last season may be his ceiling. I like Jones, but I'd stick with Granderson.
