Oswalt for Josh Johnson straight up?? WHIR

[Fender1114]

Obviously this is a sell-high situation, but I was just offered this and I am all about Johnson this season. Should I trade away Oswalt for him?

I would take Josh Johnson over Oswalt.. The Astros are a mess right now, Oswalt is 31 and can be injury prone, and Josh Johnson is in his prime on a great young team.

Thanks for the help with mine. I love Johnson too this season and I think he could be a 15-20 game winner this year. The thing is, Oswalt is a guaranteed 15+ win pitcher, under 4.00 era, 150+ k's. I really think that by the end of this year, this trade will be a wash at the very least. Without Oswalt, you still have Webb and Santana so you're in pretty good shape. I think I would do this trade. Johnson gets the edge for me.

pretty close in my eyes, i like taking the younger "up and coming" guys though. i would do it, but would be happy keeping oswalt as well.

[slagbot]

i say do it. i'd guess you see more ks from jj, and i like the marlins to win more than the astros this year.

I'm all about Josh Johnson this year as well so I'd say go for it. CYA sleeper
