2 questions: Pujols for G.Soto/J.Santana/K.Gregg, Ortiz?

Postby MadduxWasJuiced » Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:31 am

I was offered Geovany Soto, Johan Santana, and Kevin Gregg for Pujols. Pull the trigger?

Also, how should I go about getting rid of Big Papi? I don't have faith in him this year and still got stuck with him somehow... thanks.

I would probably do that deal, maybe you can throw Ortiz in and get somebody else in addition to Soto (big upgrade over Pudge), Santana (makes your pitching staff great), and Gregg (decent addition to your closers)

please help

Soto and Gregg would not be enough for me to trade Pujols for Santana.

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

I would say no to that deal. You are giving up the best player in the deal who happens to be a hitter. I value hitting over pitching...That may just be me... Gregg is a second/third tier closer who may not even be the cloer by years end. Soto is good but IMO catcher is the least important position in Fantasy. Santana is really good of course but I think you have enough pitching.

Keep the stud hitter, oh and I think Big Papi still has some left in him. I think he is still good for a .280 30 110 type season.

No, because you're giving the best player in baseball for a grab-bag.

I would say definitely not. You already have a solid pitching staff so the addition of Santana would help but the loss of Pujols would hurt more. As far as Big Papi goes, I think you can expect a pretty big season out of him. I think he has at least 1 more good year left!
