BJ Upton for Papelbon

[Rooster Cogburn]

Would you deal BJ Upton for Papelbon in a 16 team mixed league?

The papelbon side would be without a closer but would use Upton to replace Connor Jackson.

Help and I'll answer your posts.

I would MUCH MUCH rather have BJ Upton.

Did you know that Brian Wilson had as many SVs as Papelbon in 2008? Both had 41. Yet Papelbon probably went some 200 players earlier b/c of less than 100 IP of very good ratios. Not worth it at all. In fantasy, SPs will dominate your ratios since they have 200 IP compared to 70 IP of CLs.

Cmon, isn't this fantasy BB 101? Pay for bats, pay for SP and WAIT on CLs. Frank Francisco has been looking great and his ADP was far less than Papelbon. I can't say that Papelbon is overrated - he isn't as he really is one of the best at his position - he is just "overdrafted" (his ADP kills his value).

No closer is worth a stud outfielder.
