Morneau for BJ Upton?

Postby Berg » Sat Apr 04, 2009 5:06 pm

5x5 roto using OBP. Another team needs a 1B and I'd like to boost my SB's, so this is an offer I've been mulling over (I'd move Votto to 1B). Would this be a good deal, or should I ask for more for Morneau - or just stick with my team as is? My team is listed below. Thanks for all advice, and WHIR.

C: Iannetta
1B: Morneau
2B: Roberts
3B: ARam
SS: Tulo
OF: Sizemore, Quentin, McLouth
DH: Dunn
DH: Votto
Bench: Aviles, Weeks, Stewart, Helton, Werth, Hawpe

SP: Johan, Lincecum, Haren, Billingsley, Myers, Harang, Carpenter
RP: Lidge, Soria, Marmol

M:Wieters

I own them both. I like Morneau more until BJ actually proves himself power wise. I think it would be a good move for you though if you want more SB. Votto is definatley a good replacement at first base and should put up good numbers this year. It would most likely end up helping out your team, especially if upton shows what everyone seems to think he can do.

I think if you need more SB's then this is a pretty fair deal. Upton will start the year on the DL, so I'd maybe try to wait until he's ready to come of the DL before I'd make the trade. Take advantage of the week or so of stats that you'll get from Morneau.

I had both on my team last year, in a keeper... It came down to Justin vs BJ for my last keeper spot. Of course I did have Pujols... :-°

Overall, I believe you will get better production out of Upton!
Fantasy sports are ruled by the 50-50-90 rule...

Anytime you have a 50/50 choice between two players, 90% of the time, you'll get it wrong

Yes. Upton has 20/40 potential, which is better than 30/0 in my view.
