Advice on trading Miguel Cabrera!!

Postby Aberfoyle » Tue Apr 07, 2009 12:44 am

I am in a 12 team roto league and have a manager that badly wants Miguel Cabrera. I am having trouble valuing him since he was my first round pick. I am not even sure if a trade would make sense with this manager as his team is relatively week. Here is a side by side of both our teams. I am in a 12 person rotisserie league, here is my roster:

C-Mike Napoli
1B-Carlos Pena
2B-Jose Lopez
SS-Furcal
3B-Miguel Cabrera
OF-Matt Holliday
OF-Magglio Ordonez
OF-Adam Dunn
Util-Berkman
BN-Felipe Lopez
BN-Tori Hunter
BN-Howie Kendrick

SP-Roy Halladay
SP-Feliz Hernandez
SP-Yovani Gallardo
SP-Kevin Slowey
SP-Jair Jurrjens
SP-Ian Snell
RP-BJ Tyan
RP-JJ Putz
RP-Trevor Hoffman
RP-Chris Ray

Here is his team:

C: Pierzynski
1B: adrian Gonzalez
2B: Cano
3B: Longoria
SS: Tulowitski
OF: Sizemore
OF: McLouth
OF: Pence
Util: Votto
Bench: Wieters
Bench: Ankiel

SP: Peavy
SP: Shields
SP: Wainwright
SP: Lowe
SP: Matt Garza
SP: Carmona
SP: Jered Weaver
RP: Percival

How 'bout longoria/sizemore/sheilds FOR cabrera/hunter/gallardo....or something like that. Basically, take eva to replace m-cab, and then start coming up with other swaps you win until you feel comfortable. Find out just how badly the guy wants miggy...

help with mine?

I was thinking something like this too. However, maybe trade a guy less valuable than Gallardo. I'm not a fan of that guys team either, so if I were you, I would definitely consider staying put for now.

Help me out?

I went ahead and just offered him a trade for fun.

Longoria/Sizemore/Shields for Cabrera/Hunter/Slowey

Who wins in this deal? LOL

I'd say you win. Might even go so far as to call it a "crushing." The gap between sizemore and hunter is larger then the one between eva and m-cab. Taking sheilds is one hell of a cherry on top.

That's not good enough for Cabrera. I really don't think you should give him up unless you're overwhelmed, which isn't likely to happen considering his chips. Maybe ask Longoria/Shields for Cabrera/Slowey. He'll likely reject it, but I wouldn't trade Miggy for much less than that. Good luck
