Trade J Vasquez and Billy Butler for Abreu ? Help!

Postby Chuckd05 » Sat Mar 28, 2009 10:30 pm

Posted a thread on the first offer, was victorino and jasquez for abrue and mora, i declined and he came back with this trade.... This now leaves a bigger whole at CI and 3b but i feel i can use Abreus bat and consistancy. this is a h2h points league 14 teams deep, we keep 3 players.

im giving vasquez and butler to get abrue... that would move murphy to the bench and i would have to either a) play inge at 3rd and pick up k Johjima as a catcher OR play bill hall at Corner Infielder or pickup Morales, dewitt, branyan ..... should i do this trade or stay put... ???????

Kendrick, Howie ANA - 2B
Lowrie, Jed BOS - 3B
Tulowitzki, Troy COL - SS

Granderson, Curtis DET - OF
Ordonez, Magglio DET - OF

this trade is more fair than the original... i would have declined it too. you'll be losing strikeouts with vazquez gone, but you'll be gaining a solid OF option. Abreu's age bothers me a bit, but he still has potential to hit close to 20 homers and steal a few bases. i don't think billy butler has a guaranteed spot on the team yet does he, at least for now? if not, i think it's a good deal.

help me please: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=374531&p=3003583#p3003583
