I have a plethora of OF and was just offered this trade: Kazmir and Wandy for Granderson and A Hill. Trying to sell high on Hill and I want to get rid of an OF for SP, so this seems good to me but I'd like other input. 10 team H2H (HR, R, RBI, SB, OBP + W, S, K, WHIP, ERA) My current squad is:
Active Batters Iannetta, Chris C COL Pena, Carlos 1B TB Kinsler, Ian 2B TEX Ramirez, Aramis 3B CHC Tulowitzki, Troy SS COL Braun, Ryan J. OF MIL Cruz, Nelson R. OF TEX Granderson, Curtis OF DET Hill, Aaron U TOR
Active Pitchers Meche, Gil SP KC Peavy, Jake SP SD Shields, James SP TB Qualls, Chad RP ARI Rodney, Fernando RP DET
Reserve Batters Shoppach, Kelly C CLE Jackson, Conor 1B ARI Bruce, Jay OF CIN Jones, Adam OF BAL Snider, Travis OF TOR Young, Chris B. OF ARI Rios, Alex OF TOR Span, Denard OF MIN
Reserve Pitchers Davies, Kyle SP KC Parra, Manny SP MIL Franklin, Ryan RP STL Downs, Scott RP TOR
Injured Pitchers Ryan, B.J. RP TOR Santana, Ervin SP ANA
Looks like we have very similar teams. You will lose a little of current production, but you have very capable hitters on the bench that will come around (Bruce, Rios, Jones). I would probably do it, but just remember, you will not have a back-up 2nd anymore. Have you checked to see who had Alexi Ramirez to see if you could trade for him to back both positions? Kaz had a gem last night and got me 24 points.
Not sure how much production I'd lose as I've only had Hill for a week, and Granderson is easily replaceable by Jones, Rios or Jones. Granderson isn't doing me any favors in OBP and my pitching has struggled so far. I think Hill regresses and Kaz looked great last night....
Any trade that won't hurt you, and might help you should be looked at. But I'll tell ya, that if the other guy is only missing a couple of offensive pieces that puts him on top of you it could be a dangerous move. I like the deal, as long as it doesn't make the other guy a contender.
This one depends what you need. I think its a fair trade, but if you need the arms, I'd go for it. Your offense doesn't lose much and I am not sold on Hill.
