Longoria/Greinke for Braun/Papelbone

Postby cmj10us » Mon May 04, 2009 6:46 pm

I got an interesting traded offered,
I would get - Braun and Papelbone
I would give - Longoria and Greinke

I am a little concerned about Braun's health.
Should I pull the trigger?

Unless you are desperately weak at relievers and incredibly strong at your starters, I would not do it. And if you were to trade, I'm sure you could get more than that considering Longoria and Greinke are probably at their highest values that they will be at all year.
help would be appreciated

I have Braun, but would not make this trade. I drafted Greinke after listening to XM MLBHomeplate and many of the announcers talking highly of him.

I would keep Evan and Zach.

My 3B would be Zimmerman.
Also, Huff and Sandoval are eligible at 3B.
My SPs are Liriano, Greinke, Harang, Gallardo, and Wakefield.
I'm weak at RPs but I give up on saves.

I wouldnt do the trade then if you Give up on saves, beside Greinke your SP is only so so, Braun seems to have injury issues and Longoria is a monster this season

If I could get R. Halladay instead of Papelbon, should I go for it?

to be perfectly honest, i would offer greinke and longoria for papelbon, braun and halladay. odds are he wont say yes but atleast u will know how far he is willing or not willing to go with the trade and u wont get screwed over by him cause he knows u mean business with letting those players go. longoria is leading the majors in RBI and is on a tear and greinke has been by far the most dominant pitcher throughout the season. you have the upper hand in this trade.

No way. Minus the steals Longoria and Braun are(or will very shortly be) the same player except considering position scarcity there are alot more outfielders than 3B. Greinke and Pap are not even close to the same. Do not do this!Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
