Big Trade offer in keeper, please help - WHIR

Postby BillyHallDisciple » Sun May 03, 2009 9:14 pm

12-team h2h 6x6 (standard cats + OPS for hitters and K/9 for pitchers. Salaries increase by $5 per year with a $220 total cap.

My pitching is kind of weak, but now Verlander's had a couple of nice starts in a row, plus this other guy knows I'm interested in getting LaPorta. So today, he offered me the following:

His: David Price ($10), Edinson Volquez ($9), Matt LaPorta ($1)

for

My: Jay Bruce ($13), Justin Verlander ($6), Pat Burrell ($1).

Any thoughts. I kind of think I'd rather not do this, but maybe it would pay off in the long run.12-team, 6x6 Keeper (w/OPS & K/9 added), player values increase $5 per year with $220 cap.

I don't know H2H and not sure about salary cap, but just looking at the players, I would definitely do it if I were you. IMO it is not even close.

I wouldn't do that. You are giving up more talent than you are getting back. I would hold off.
