Trade Webb/Swisher for Gollardo? WHIR

Postby Fender1114 » Fri May 01, 2009 1:24 pm

I had offered Webb for Gollardo straight up, which he obviously rejected. He countered with Gollardo for Webb/Swisher. Swisher has been outstanding but I think I should sell high, and I really need the Ks. Pull the Trigger?

I'm having sell-high hesitiation on Swisher also. I just don't think it's a good idea, Swisher/NY seem synergistic some way, somehow.

I definitely think you should do this. Gallardo is a stud, Webb's health is a major question, and I do believe Swish is at an all time sell high. From the looks of your team, you can absorb the loss of Swisher easily, and I honestly believe even if Webb comes back, the difference between he and Gallardo is looking mighty mighty slim as far as fantasy production.

Take the trade, thanks for the help with mine.

Peace,

Jah

If you really want gollardo, then yeah, I think that's fine. Only because your bench is really deep, so losing swisher shouldn't hurt you. I think he'll have a pretty good year, but will hit nowhere near .300. Expect a .260 average the most.

When A-Rod comes back Swisher won't see a spot before 7 in the lineup. Also, he had done very little over the last few weeks until he hit 2 in one game. I like Webb, but if you view Gallardo as an upgrade pull the trigger.
