Big 3-for-3 Trade... Would you do it? WHIR

Postby Trojan Pony » Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:18 pm

I would receive:
Jimmy Rollins
David DeJesus
James Shields

I would send:
Michael Young
Carlos Quentin
Lastings Milledge

6x6 (5x5 + OBP & IP)
Limited kepeer (4 players taken after 4th round up to 3 years)

MY ROSTER
================
C Mauer
1B A-Gon
2B Roberts
3B Encarnacion
SS M. Young
CI Huff (1B/3B)
MI DeRosa (2B/3B/OF)
OF Holliday
OF Quentin
OF Milledge
OF Burrell
OF Span
UTIL J.D. Drew (OF)
Bench Church (OF)
Bench Blalock (1B/3B)
Bench Yadier (C)
Bench E. Aybar (SS)
Bench Griffey (OF)

SP J. Santana
SP Volquez
SP Chris Young
SP Price
SP Morro
SP Purcey
RP Marmol
RP M. Gonzalez
RP Corpas
RP Aardsma
P J. Sanchez
P Hughes

His outfield is weak, and I think it's one of my stronger areas... But is dealing Quentin and Milledge together depleting it too much? The main point of this trade is to get a legit 2nd starter like Shields - he also has Oswalt. My rotation is too upside-dependent and I'm looking to anchor it a bit with a proven stud pitcher. Just don't want to give up too much to make that happen...

Really appreciate any help.

I almost love this trade for you. It would leave your OF pretty thin but I'd still accept. Maybe try to cut Lastings and Dejesus out of the deal and make it a 2 for 2, or send one of your lesser pitchers instead of Lastings

I think he asked for Milledge because he doesn't want to give up Rollins without replacing his speed, or at least most of it... He's not interested in Span. He previously wanted Roberts from me, who I told him is more or less untouchable. His pitching is pretty stacked, so I don't think throwing a pitcher in would sway him much.

I like the trade because you're getting top 12 value in Rollins.

I would do it. Getting Rollins for that little is hard to pass up.

Help?
