Trade Zambrano & Fuentes for K Rod?

Postby EZmoney36 » Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:44 pm

I have been offered a trade.
I would send Zambrano and B Fuentes to another team in exchange for Francisco Rodriguez.
My starting pitching is very solid and I would consider Zambrano the worst starter I have. I have been looking to trade to free up a roster spot so that I may pickup some more positional players. I am solid in the closer department already with Fuentes, Broxton, F Francisco and Rodney already. K Rod would only solidify my closers and possibly i could trade away another one for a stat that I need more. What do you think? Thanks for the help!

If you feel your SP staff can lose Big Z and upgrade from Fuentes to K-Rod, i say it's a no brainer. Do the deal.

Good luck,

I feel the same way. If you can afford the loss at SP, then go with K-Rod. I worry about an injury with him, but that is just one of those gut feelings. I have not read or seen anything to justify that. The Angels SP's are in disarray right now and that hurts with over-use of bullpen which indirectly could affect Fuentes. K-Rod is as solid as they come. Go for it.

Why give away Zambrano? Fuentes isn't much under the overrated KRod.
