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.
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
