Trade C Davis and B Molina for Aramis Ramirez?

Postby acertijo » Sun Mar 29, 2009 5:29 pm

Hey everyone, 10 team, H2H league, standard categories. I wanted to get people's feedback on a trade:

I give Chris Davis and Bengie Molina, and I get Aramis Ramirez. I already have Pablo Sandoval as C eligible, so Molina doesn't do me any good. I like Davis's potential, but I really like Ramirez's proven production and he's in his prime. It also frees up a roster spot so that I can add another good pitcher - I don't like to have hitters clogging up my bench space.

Any thoughts on whether you like the trade?

Leave a link and I'm happy to help in return. Team is in my signature.

I'd much rather have Aram's reliable 30/100 every year over Davis and Molina, especially when you have a solid C to replace Bengie anyway.

I definatley agree. Do it! You don't need Molina on your bench with Sandoval and A-Ram is so reliable every year. I would jump on it.

Earlier today, I might have said make that trade. Now that Marmol is not the Closer in Chicago, you might need to refocus your trade efforts.

KarmicRetribution... after mulling over your response, I have to admit I don't know what the heck you're talking about!

Im thinking he means you attentions may be better directed at your RP's, as Marmol lost the battle to be closer, Cordero is having a horrid time and 'may' be injured, leaving you with just Fransisco as a reliable closer of your trio.

Just my hunch

I agree with the first poster. Great trade for you considering you have Sandoval to play at catcher. For what it's worth I think Chris Davis is completely overhyped. Wouldn't be suprised if he hit .250 this season.

Can you return the favor and comment on my Berkman/Hamilton post plz? Thanks.

yes, Kraftwerk is correct. Marmol not being named closer has created a fairly large hole in your lineup. If after fixing that - or electing not to - the Davis/Molina for Aramis is still on the board, then go for it.

I would make this trade regardless of the Marmol situation but then focus on that when you're done. Even if Davis manages to hit all the lofty expectations he won't be that much more valuable than Aram plus you get much better confidence.
