The second deal is HIS Vlad and Billingsley for my Dexter Fowler and Dan Haren. This is in a 15 team, 5 player keeper, 5x5 roto style mixed league and my team is as follows:
Third deal is in this same league....HIS Paul Konerko, Ben Francisco, and Travis Ishikawa for my Carlos Pena. What do you think guys? Should I do any of these deals?
i wouldn't do any of these deals. kinsler is more valuable than what you'd get in the first deal, even with sizemore thrown in. i just couldn't give up kinsler this year. now, the 2nd deal is worth considering. billingsley is going to be one of the top 5 pitchers this year likely, and he's on a good team. however, vlad is on the DL right? i'd check on that injury before doing the deal.
I agree with the people above me. Kinsler is more valuable than Sizemore, nevermind Kinsler AND Nelson Cruz. And Cliff Lee is proving that last year was somewhat of a fluke.
Again, I would also do the second deal. Billingsley is turning out to be a stud and Vlad is just icing on the cake.
I would definitely not do the first deal for the reasons stated above, and an additional factor is I am still not as high on Sizemore as everyone else seems to be.
I would not do the third deal either, but I could see you doing it if you think Konerko will continue to have a bounce back year.
As for the third deal, I think it is somewhat of a wash in that I don't know how much you will get from Vlad (even after his injury) and think Haren is still slightly better than Bills.
Can you help with mine (I don't know how to leave a link but it is a post earlier today involving a trade with Lowe/Konerko/Cameron)? Thanks.
You definatly reject the first one. The second one is close. Bills and Haren could go either way. Vlad is getting old and is on the dl now for about a month. If you have faith in Vlad and think he can bounce back then take the deal if not then reject it aswell.
