Pujols for Beltre, DeRosa, Shields

[ReincarnatedIntoCansecoBiceps]

Should I accept? Beltre is off to a slow start, and i think hes still going to get 25+ homeruns .280+ average and 95+ RBIS, so he's being sold low. DeRosa is a great three position player who can get a lot of runs and solid stats all around batting between Sizemore and Martinez. On top of it all, i get an Ace. What do you think?

You may need some better batters in return. What is his team . . . Shields would be nice to get in the deal, and DeRosa helps too. I'm leary on Beltre, altough he is in a contract year, and could go off at any minute. Pujols is the #1 fantasy batter in my mind . . . so hold tight for the moment.

quantity does not = quality. dont trade pujols for that. think first and second rounders

[myroto83]

never never never trade the best player in the deal.

[Rbsurf]

No way...Pujols will bat 350 and many rbi and hr...wouldnt do that

[mak1277]

Yeah, definitely don't make this trade. If you're dealing Pujols you should aim for two players in the top 25 in return....not a bunch of guys drafted in the middle rounds.

A trade like this in real life might go down, but not in fantasy world. Sorry. Forget that jose. That ain't close. Don't let them insult you.

I agree with that... Accept do a little numbers crunching.

Pujols is one guy who will hit 330, 120, 40, 140.

Beltre and DeRosa represent 2 guys who COLLECTIVELY may hit 280, 170, 60, 190. So the two together have better overall numbers then Pujols himself. Plus, you're getting Shields.

However, you will have to drop 2 guys... so subtract those potential numbers and tehn figure out if teh potential COLLECTIVE numbers add up to teh numbers Pujols will give you on his own.
