Quentin for Phillips

[mateo150]

I have Quentin, was offered B. Phillips for him. I do need middle infielding, but Phillips is off to a crapper of a start on a seemingly poor team whereas Quentin in an offensive machine in Chicago. I'm thinking about counter offering Quentin + Floyd for M. Derosa + Hamels or E. Santana.

Thoughts?

MY TEAM - 12 team roto, 1250 inning limit
C-Napoli or V. Martinez
1b-Pujols
2b-Matsui
SS-Cabrera or Elvis Andrus or B. Zobrist
3b-Zimmerman or Lowell
MI- Whoever looks good
CI-P. Fielder
OF-Quentin, Granderson, N. Cruz, A. Rios, or T. Hunter
Util-Whoever looks good
SP-Lackey, Gallardo, Harang, F. Hernandez, Verlander, G. Floyd
RP-F. Cordero, B. Wilson, R. Franklin, R. Soriano, O. Dotel, K. McClellan

Bad trade for you. Quentin is a top 25 guy and I would look to get that in return. Phillips isn't hitting so don't trade your best OF for a guy who hasn't shown anything yet. This is the time to buy low on Phillips not over pay.

I wouldnt do it. Maybe try and move Granderson instead.

Is Phillips even good? This is my first year in FB, so I've never seen him play. Is Phillips a guaranteed commodity? I'd like to get DeRosa in the trade as well, I like his 2B & OF eligibility. Suggestions?

Maybe Granderson + O. Cabrera for Phillips & DeRosa?

P.S. - our leagues scores OBP instead of BA...which is a minus for Phillips since he has a 320 OBP...average is 350

Phillips is generally considered one of the better 2B options. But no matter what he is not a guy you build your team around. Quentin is. If you want to trade for a 2B and you are offering Quentin then you should be looking at Pedroia or Utley in return. A couple of things to keep in mind. When you trade, try and not give up quality for quantity and when you have a top 25 guy then expect to get a top 25 guy in return.
