Trade involving Markakis/Rios/Votto... WHIR!!

[0c5er]

I personally wouldn't trade for Rios. He consistently under-performs based on his expectations every year.

But I'd go with the 1st trade if you're going to try and do it. I would say trade Howard because I hate him, but your league accounts for total bases and doesn't take away for strikeouts (except for Howards awful avg.)

I like the very first trade you mentioned. Markakis and Rios will have really good years.

I agree - if you can swing that trade, do it...

I'd definitely go with the Votto trade, because Ryan Howard will really help you out in things like OBP & total bases, even though you're giving up Verlander

I agree -try the 1st one, if he doesnt go for it - i like the howard/werth for ichiro and markakis pretty well

Rios earned $26 last year, not too shabby. I would glady take him. Howard had 1 bad year of average to unlucky hit rate %. I see no reason why he can't hit .270.

I like your first trade of Votto/Verlander for Markakis/Rios

Thanks for your help on mine.

Some more help on a followup?

Idk if the guy would take the 1st deal but the 2nd deal sounds like he would. Maybe try offering burnett or another P
