HUGE trade in dynasty league. I'd get Reyes. WHIR

Postby Yankeesin05 » Wed Feb 25, 2009 8:53 pm

It's a 16 team H2H Yahoo league. We're in the 4th year of our dynasty where we keep 15 players every year. Another manager asked me if I'm willing to trade Joba and after some back and forth offers, we're at this trade. What are your thoughts on this trade?

I'm getting the best player in the trade, which is good. Also, I was definitely looking to move Cliff Lee and/or Carlos Quentin and this trade accomplishes that. And I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be able to move Reyes in a trade involving Miggy Cabrera + a pitcher if this goes through.

I GIVE: Stephen Drew, Carlos Quentin, Cliff Lee, Joba Chamberlain, Clayton Kershaw

I GET: Jose Reyes, Corey Hart, Adam Wainwright, Johnny Cueto

What do you think? Is including my two young guys (Joba and Kershaw) too much?

My team as of right now (draft is next week):

Hitters R HR RBI SB AVG OBP

1B Justin Morneau (Min - 1B)
2B Dan Uggla (Fla - 2B)
3B Álex Rodríguez (NYY - 3B)
SS Stephen Drew (Ari - SS)
IF Ian Stewart (Col - 2B,3B)
OF Delmon Young (Min - OF)
OF Carlos Quentin (CWS - OF)
OF Carl Crawford (TB - OF)

Pitchers W SV K HLD ERA WHIP

SP Cliff Lee (Cle - SP)
SP Clayton Kershaw (LAD - SP)
SP Gavin Floyd (CWS - SP)

I'd advise against it... I really like Stephen Drew to become better than his brother, Joba and Kershaw are two of the best young pitchers in baseball, and in a dynasty league that is paramount! I don't blame you for wanting to shop Quentin and Lee but you can get Wainwright and Hart for them on their own...you really don't need Reyes (and if the Mets really bat him 3rd, then I think his value goes down--he'll steal less bases and possibly score less runs and hit for a lower average)
