Huge panic trade or a good idea?

Postby GoTwinkiesGo » Wed Apr 15, 2009 2:18 am

12 Team H2H Keeper League (keep 6: 2 hitters/2 pitchers minimum) Extra Categories: H, OPS, BB, QS

my team:
C Victor Martinez......................SP Tim Lincecum
1B Miguel Cabrera......................SP Zach Greinke
2B Kelly Johnson........................RP Frank Fransisco
3B Adrian Beltre........................RP Troy Percival
SS Jose Reyes...........................P Chris Ray
OF Grady Sizemore.....................P Adam Wainwright
OF Bobby Abreu.........................P Kevin Slowey
OF Adam Lind...........................BN Clayton Kershaw
Util Daniel Murphy......................BN Randy Johnson
BN Aaron Hill............................BN Kyle Davies
BN Ryan Spilborghs.....................BN Tommy Hanson
DL Alex Rodriguez......................DL John Smoltz

Should i send A-Rod and Sizemore in return for Pujols and Jason Bay?

Miggy has 3B eligibility for this season, and i can flip one of em for wright or evan next year. what do you guys think?

long term keeper league btw...

i'd LOVE to pair pujols and miggy, but am i selling myself short?

do it. hate to give up sizemore but you've got steals with reyes, and pujols is still top 3..i'd do it. not so high on a-rod having a good year, and i think your outfield will be fine with bay.

Well, I understand the dilemia of giving up A-Rod and Sizemore. I think that with getting Pujols (monster hitter) and Bay that it will make up the difference. Also, if you are worried about losing steals with Sizemore, you still have Reyes. I think that the trade will work out for you.

Absolutely not. A-Rod will be back in a few weeks. Ride it out or I think you'll regret making this trade. Bay is BY FAR the worst player in the deal. Everyone else, when healthy, is arguably first round material.

Can you return the favor plz - viewtopic.php?t=378755

dont do it, especially in a keeper league. bay is in the last year of his contract and boston had trouble locking him long term over the offseason. if he leaves boston for a more offensively impaired team, his value will drop significantly. stick with arod and sizemore, that pairing is money!

As much as I love Pujols I would not do it.
