Take this highway robbery or let him know he is nuts?

Postby KJ24 » Sun Apr 26, 2009 2:46 pm

This is a $20 league, so I will kind of feel bad taking this, but someone offered me this:

I give: David Wright

I get: Jorge Cantu, Adam Jones, Cliff Lee, Fransisco Rodriguez.

I know this is kind of more of a moral question, but the gist of what I am is, is this a big of a win for me as I think it is?

If you like quantity for quality then you do it. So basically if you need depth, yes. Personally I wouldn't move Wright for anything less than a 3rd and 5th round pick.

I think it depends on the league size and the rest or your roster.

Actually, I don't think I would move Wright for this combination of players... none of the guys you're getting in return are elite players (except K-Rod, but an elite closer doesn't have the same impact as an elite hitter IMO).

Cliff Lee seems kinda hittable this year so far, Cantu is ok but nothing spectacular, and Adam Jones is quality but there's gonna be growing pains with him. With Wright, you're getting pretty much guaranteed production across all hitting categories at a position that's much more thin than usual this year.

I don't think it's as crazy as you think it is.

This is the kind of trade you make if you've been smashed with injuries and you're forced to move a top tier player in exchange for multiple pieces that you can use every day that are better than the junk on the waiver wire.

This early in the season, if you're okay with the rest of your lineup, I'd keep Wright.

I wouldn't deal Wright but if your team is so weak you need all those players in return...
