Big Trade, I REALLY NEED HELP!! WHIR!!

Postby FrankieYankee » Mon Mar 02, 2009 10:37 am

OK Im in a Rotisserie Keeper League. The league has been going on for about 10 years, and I just entered it this year as an expansion team. We did an expansion draft, but Im basically starting from scratch. Very challenging and I love it. I have one STUD player. Carlos Quinten. Im very hesitant to part with him but just go offered:

Joba and Youkillis for Quinten.

What do I do? It's very tempting!

Please help, I will give help back!

Nope. And I say this with confidence. Joba is going to be a great pitcher but I doubt he'll have perennial 1st/2nd round value like I believe Quentin will. Youk had a career year last year and is being massively overvalued. He's 30 years old and will probably produce closer to his '07 line of 16 HR, 83 RBI, 85 R, and .288 AVG than to his '08 numbers.

Im just worried that Quinten was a flash in the pan.

He wasn't. The injury he had in '07 bothered him all season which is what created his struggles. Had he not been injured he'd have broken out a year earlier. He's not a pitcher so a torn labrum isn't a concern to repeat.
