Would you trade Bruce and Bay for this group?(WHIR)

[kidsilk]

Mixed league,10 teams, 18 man rosters, only 2 bench spots, H2H with 8x8 scoring, redraft, weekly changes. I am currently in 9th place with an underachieving team after winning the league the last two seasons. I feel like I need to make a deal but not sure if this deal is in my favor or not. My glaring weaknesses are SS and 3B and I could add another pitcher as well.

I have been offered Johnny Damon, Jorge Cantu, Johnathan Broxton, and Erik Bedard for my Jason Bay and Jay Bruce. What do you guys think? AM I getting enough back? Or if you can see any other options for a counter let me know and leave your links. Thanks.

Yikes. Hes got some nasty pitchers! I'd say do it, cantu is looking good, and broxton would be better than ziegler.

Help.

I would definately pull the trigger on this one! Broxton is way better than Zeigler and I like Damon and Cantu.

now the guy has changed the deal.....he got cold feet and doesnt really want Bruce I guess.

SO, now the offer on the table is:

His Bedard, Broxton, and Cantu for my Bay and Encanarcion. What do you think? Would you do this?

[Brave New One]

I'd take that last deal all day!!!

[fierro33]

i would do that trade......cantu and broxton are the guys u really want....bedard is a plus as well.....i like bruce better than encarnacion.......do it! damon is not a huge loss if u dont get him. i really love cantu and broxton.....bay is good but im guessing his numbers will be just a little down from last year

[kidsilk]

So, if I do this I will have to pick up another OF to fill in for Bay. Who of the following should I pick up?

Swisher
Choo
Kubel
J. Anderson
C. Young
Crisp
Dukes
Ankiel
Cameron
J.Upton
Hawpe
Bradley
Hermida
Fowler

[fierro33]

swisher or hawpe.....not sure if swisher is for real but i know hawpe is

I personally woundn't do it. Damon will get hurt and I am not sold on Cantu 100%. Bedard may be great or he may get hurt, either way he won't get more than 15 wins tops on SEA. I think you can do better for those 2.

I agree. I think both of those trades are terrible for you. Bay is by far the best player of the group and in a league with only 18 roster spots depth is overrated.
