Should I trade draft picks?? WHIR

Postby Berg » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:53 pm

5x5 roto using OBP.

I would get: Pick 35, 131

I'd give up: Pick 81, 96, 110

I like the idea of moving up and getting a premium player, but I don't know if it's worth the package of picks I'd relinquish. I've never traded draft picks before, so any advice would be appreciated and WHIR.

That's a lot of picks to give up; I'd pass.

I wouldn't do that trade either; too much value to give up for those picks.

You have to look at what you are getting in return. IMO, you are not getting enough in return. I'd tweak it, but not do it as is.

Picks 35 and 131 from the latest MDP are Brandon Webb and David Price
Picks 81, 96 and 110 are Hunter Pence, Jay Bruce and Raul Ibanez.

that gives you an Idea of what kind of player you can grab with each pick. I wouldn't do the trade.

I'd pass too.

I, too, like the idea of getting the premium player in a deal (my post linked below is essential the same concern), but I feel there is a big difference when dealing with the certainty of a players for players deal and a picks for picks. As the above poster pointed out, in terms of total value, you could be giving up way too much. And, what's not to say that a high upside pick won't reach the potential of that premium pick? Maybe you can give up something less than your 90s pick and it would make sense, but for now, stay away.

I would consider it as I think I'd get a significant boost with the higher pick... but its not an obviously good move and looks like a trade just to make a trade. I wouldnt normally make such a move as I usually only make deals to fill team needs. There is no clear need in this case.

please help with mine...
