Quick: Atkins & Greinke for C. Davis & Oswalt WHIR Fast

Postby rjlmets » Fri Mar 27, 2009 9:00 am

I know most are going to go for the Davis Oswalt side, but please think about it. I will be getting Atkins side of it... I just don't trust Davis and Oswalt doesn't K many people and is shaky. Did I get ripped?

I don't see a clear winner, but maybe depending on scoring format. Not sure I see the point in this trade. :-B

I like the Oswalt/Davis side myself but it's not an owful trade for you either. I feel like Oswalt and Greinke are very similar but maybe a few more wins for Oswalt. Davis has huge upside but Atkins has been solid the past few years. More potential from Davis side but safer play on your side.

I would have to agree that I like the Oswalt/Davis side. I dont feel like there is a huge difference between Oswalt and Greinke. I think that Davis's potential is a huge upside, but Atkins is a very consistent player. If Davis' production slips, then the trade will be beneficial for you in the end.

I like the Atkins/Greinke side. You know what you will get with Atkins while Davis still has some question marks. Greinke has the upside to possibly be a top 10-12 pitcher. You will be losing wins but will have greater K's, ERA and WHIP could be a wash.

Atkins and Greinke for me but it also depends on your league format

I LOVE the Oswalt/Davis side.
I have owned Oswalt for years and he's a dependable guy for ERA WHIP W and a decent amount of K's. Greinke won't get the wins, and pitching in the AL hurts his peripherals. Although his curveball is unhittable in MVP '05.
Davis is going to RAKE this year. 35 HR-110 RBI-.280. I see him and Atkins as more or less equal, perhaps a slight edge to Davis for the upside.

I made a bet in 2003 that the Devil Rays would win the 2008 World Series. Oh so close.
