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... ???????
my team:
Inge, Brandon DET - C Fielder, Prince MIL - 1B Kendrick, Howie ANA - 2B Lowrie, Jed BOS - 3B Tulowitzki, Troy COL - SS Lopez, Felipe ARI - MI Butler, Billy KC - CI Granderson, Curtis DET - OF Ordonez, Magglio DET - OF Victorino, Shane PHI - OF Ethier, Andre LAD - DH Murphy, David TEX - DH
Active Pitchers Bedard, Erik - SP SEA Burnett, A.J. - SP NYY Liriano, Francisco - SP MIN Vazquez, Javier - SP ATL Volquez, Edinson - SP CIN Jenks, Bobby - RP CHW
Reserve Batters Baker, Jeff 2B COL Aybar, Erick SS ANA Cuddyer, Michael RF MIN Hall, Bill 3B MIL
Reserve Pitchers Garland, Jon SP ARI Marshall, Sean SP CHC
Injured Pitchers Escobar, Kelvim SP ANA Sheets, Ben SP MIL
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.
