Big trade help. Involves Nolasco, Harden, Ludwick WHIR 100%

Postby Hustler8800 » Thu Apr 23, 2009 9:04 pm

I was offered this deal.

I Give:
Raúl Ibañez
Daniel Murphy
Rich Harden
Ryan Franklin
I Get
Ryan Ludwick
Ricky Nolasco
Andy Pettitte
Kevin Gregg


The way I look at it I am getting an upgrade at my 3rd outfield position with Ludwick replacing Ibanez. I value Harden and Nolasco almost identically. Harden is good...when healthy so there is a lot of risk there. Nolasco has not prooven himself to the extent harden has...so there is risk there aswell. The Closers also seem even to me. Gregg has sucked, but if he turns it around he could get a lot of saves for a good cubs team. Franklin might not even keep the job; he easily could be platooned with Motte or Perez if they get hot. I like Murphy, but I'm not sure he makes up the difference between Ludwick and Ibanez.
The guy said I could get a different pitcher INSTEAD of Pettite. This group of guys who would be the 4th and replace Pettite are: J Cueto, R. Porcello, B. Anderson, D. Price(maybe). Who would you take?

I am leaning towards trying to get J. Cueto or D. Price instead of Pettite and taking the deal.

I am in a 14 Team Standard H2H 5x5 League.
My Roster is:
C - B. Inge
1B - A. Gonzalez
2B - K. Johnson
SS - J. Reyes
3B - E. Longoria
OF - B.J. Upton
OF - J. Bruce
OF - R Ibanez
Util - Dan. Murphy
BN - J. Upton
BN - M. Reynolds
BN - M. Weiters
SP - CC Sabathia
SP - R. Harden
SP - R. Oswalt
SP - R. Johnson
RP - C. Qualls
RP - R. Franklin
P - K. Kawakami
BN - C. Volstad
BN - J. Sanchez

Its a pretty even trade in my book. Although I like Franklin a lot more than Gregg, I think the difference in saves won't be that huge. Of those pitchers I would want Pettitte or Price.

It looks pretty even to me but I like your side better slightly but I would try and get Price instead of Pettitte.

thanks for your help with mine

Dude if you can get the guy to throw in Price over Pettite this would be a deal I'd pull the trigger on. Make it happen! Good luck to you! Little help: viewtopic.php?t=380574

Only 3 HR and a .143 ISO from a first baseman in 118 AAA PA so far? Nice AVG but he's looking an awful lot like James Loney right now.

That would be a great deal for you even if it is Pettite over Price. Before you pull the trigger try to sneak Price in though.

help me please - posting.php?mode=reply&f=26&t=380571
