David Ortiz for Papelbon

Postby Tarquin » Mon Mar 30, 2009 10:00 am

I get: David Ortiz
I give: Papelbon

Do it or not? Also while we are at it, should I drop Kaz Matsui for Cameron Maybin? I was also offered J.J Putz for Brandon Morrow. Morrow is in the bullpen now (Probably closing) but Putz should be the best holds guy in MLB this season.

I would take Putz over Morrow (unless it's a keeper) and Maybin over K. Matsui. As for Ortiz, it depends on what you expect out of him. I'm personally bullish and would probably do it because Ortiz can be quite a bit more valuable than Paps in this setup, I favor hitting in H2H when it's close, and you have the SV to spare.

Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

putz over morrow
maybin over matsui
you miiiight be able to get more for papalebon, since he is a top level closer and ortiz is basically a question mark. You could try shopping around more and if nothing else pops up, go for it
