Trade A-Rod for Ryan Braun??

Postby jasonpm311 » Thu Apr 09, 2009 4:59 pm

I was offered Ryan Braun and Hank Blalock for A-Rod and Mike Cameron. Should I do it? It's a 10-team roto league. Thanks!

No brainer to me. A-Rod is worthless for 1/3 of the season at best.

I would do it and with Blalock in the DH spot for Texas, he looks to hit 25-30hrs, which would total ARod's output this season, and Braun is definatley a upgrade over Cameron.



help with mine?

I say do it -- you are not certain what skill sets arod brings when he returns given the running game and whatnot. The risk for aggravating the injury is there too.

If it was H2H I would say no, but since it's roto I would definitely do it.
