Trading Burrell for an IF. Help wanted. (WHIR, etc)

Postby Hey Hermano » Sun Apr 26, 2009 5:42 pm

I'm trying to move Pat the Bat for an IF. What would be fair value for him?

I'm thinking a second-tier 1B or 3B would do it... uh... Chris Davis? Garrett Atkins? Joey Votto? James Loney? My league as OBP and BB as stats, so Burrell is more valuable here than in a traditional 5x5 league.

There is a guy in my league who is starting Votto at one of his IF slots, but is also starting Mike Cameron in OF with Jay Bruce at Util. There is another guy who has James Loney on his bench.

My league has two extra IFs, but only 3 OF slots.

My team:
Yahoo mixed 12-team H2H league, 9x9 (OBP, BB, SB%, Net Steals)
C - Brian McCann
1B - Miguel Cabrera
2B - Robinson Cano
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
3B - Evan Longoria
IF - Marco Scutaro
IF - Edwin Encarnacion
Util - Nate McLouth
OF - Jacoby Ellsbury
OF - Torii Hunter
OF - Andre Ethier
BN - Pat Burrell

SP - Jake Peavy
SP - Felix Hernandez
P - Zack Greinke
P - John Danks
P - Erik Bedard
P - Wandy Rodriguez
P - Gil Meche
P - Joe Saunders
P - Paul Maholm
RP - Jonathan Broxton
RP - Chad Qualls

If I could trade Burrell for Votto I would do it without thinking, I would then go buy a lotto ticket to try to capitalize on my good fortune ;-D

Just my opinion but if you can get Votto I would most definitely do it

If theres an owner willing to swap Votto for Burrell DO IT! Have no idea why he'd be on the bench for Cameron, but obviously he isn't too high on Votto, take advantage.

Nope, you ain't getting Votto, Atkins, or Davis for Burrell. You're going to have to shoot lower, try Derrek Lee, etc. Just trying to be realistic.

I dont think it is realistic to think you could get any of those 3 for Burrell. Like Howie said you need to set your sights a little lower like Derek Lee.. Even that would be great for you as if it were me I wouldn't trade Lee for Burrell.

please help

I have to echo everyone else and say you need to shoot lower. Burrell is not exactly knocking the cover of the ball right now.
90% of my posts are from complaining about my team :)

Agree with this. Loney is a realistic target for Burrell though.

Thanks for your help on mine.
