Do I do the "I WIN!" happy dance after this trade? WHIR 100%

Postby Millhouse » Thu Apr 16, 2009 7:11 am

5x5x roto keeper.

i give: liriano, swisher, capps
i get: sabathia, votto, fuentes


i personally think swisher could be this year's ludwick but votto has been hot and makes nice value for swisher in case swish turns out to be a semi-fluke. he might ask for billingsley or aj burnett over liriano. still a win for me either way? leave a link, will help you ASAP. ;-D

I'm kinda in the same boat with Swisher - trying to gauge his long term value with Nady out is tough

However -

Sabathia > Liriano
Fuentes =< Capps but minimal
Votto >= Swisher but who the hell knows

If your goal is to improve pitching - you are making out with minimal downside

I think you win hard.

- Swisher is off to a hot start...just like Nady from last year. He's def gonna tail off in averages but he has legit 30 HR power. Votto has that same power potential plus can hit for average, will get more RBIs, and steal a few more bases.
- Fuentes will get more saves than Capps but his peripherals like K's/WHIPs might be worse.
- Sabbathia > Liriano. Also less risky.

I personally love Liriano. I think he'll end up with significantly better peripherals than Sabathia, especially in the years to come, i think he's the prize of that trade. However i really like Votto's upside too, and we all know how the angels produce save opps. I think you make out pretty well in this deal, and just pray C.C. holds up in the years to come.

Hey thx for the help man

You win by a mile, actually, about $20.

Is this other owner under the influence of an illegal substance.

BTW, Swisher is this years Swisher, roller coaster and in the end, you get 30 dingers and a gross average, just plain jain for 5x5 IMO.
