Blockbuster trade...WHIR

Postby dodgerf » Sat Feb 28, 2009 1:50 am

10 team standard 5x5 redraft
After going back and force with offers numerous times, the other owner has offered me his
Chone, Loney, Mauer, Johan, and Weaver for my Ellsbury, Vlad, and Halladay

I would be forced to drop 2 players after the trade, which would probably be J. Baker and Jered Weaver...am I getting enough value to take the trade without improving my team in needed categories? I feel that my weakness is power and RBI's with Starting Pitching as my strength. If not this trade, what can I counter with to help my team...we had talked about me giving up Vlad, Ellsbury, and Halladay for his Mauer, Carlos Lee, and Johnny Damon. Thoughts?

My team:
C: J. Baker
C: J. Clement
1B: Pujols
2B: Kinsler
3B: Chipper
SS: Tulo
MI: OCab
CI: D. Lee
OF: Ellsbury
OF: Vlad
OF: Abreu
OF: Kemp
OF: Torii Hunter
U: Konerko
Bench: Mike Cameron

P:Bills, Gallardo, Halladay, Nolasco, Price, Wainwright, Josh Johnson, Lowe, Lidge, Sherril, Mike Gonzalez, Lindstrom, Izzy, Greinke

His team:
C: McCann
C: Mauer
1B: Votto
2B: Cano
3B: Chone
SS: Reyes
MI: Yunel
CI: Loney
OF: Damon
OF: Ibanez
OF: Conor Jackson
OF: Adam Jones
OF: Carlos Lee
U: Coco
Bench: Jesus Flores, Carlos Guillen, Lowell, Mora, Barmes

Pitchers: Bell, Joba, Johan, Hanrahan, Qualls, Mo Riv, Street, Wang, Weaver, Smoltz, and Garza

It's still not enough, Ellsbury is Figginsx100. As much as I like Loney, the offer just doesn't cut it.

I don't see how this improves your roster at all, I'd pass. :-t

Thanks for the replies, what do you think about my Vlad, Ellsbury, and Halladay for his Carlos Lee, Johnny Damon, and Joe Mauer? I feel like I could use a couple more bats in my lineup and could take the hit of losing Halladay from my rotation.
