When a moron proposes a trade...

Postby HldOnMgnolia » Wed May 06, 2009 1:54 am

I've been proposed an insulting trade (My Morneau + Franklin for his garbage WW fodder) and it made me think that if he's stupid enough to make such a horrible offer he might be inclined to accept one that's almost as bad.

So, he wants Morneau and a closer and I'm thinking Franklin's value only goes downhill from here. I'm weak in the OF and he's got Sizemore, Ludwick, Abreu, Granderson, Kubel...and Lincecum.

#1
Give-----Morneau, Fukodome, Franklin
Get-----Sizemore, Ziegler

#2
Give----Morneau, Danks, Fukodome
Get-----Lincecum, Ludwick

Assuming he accepts, do either/both of these trades improve my team?
Should I target Abreu instead of Sizemore if he balks?

Without Morneau I have a hole at 1B but Helton is available on WW and LaPorta might work sufficiently - he's not Morneau but if I'm able to grab a top 10 guy+ I do it, right? (My team is K prone with Uggla, Longoria, Thome already...)

Thanks!

I like #2 .... assuming he accepts, I think it obviously improves your SP and adding Ludwick makes your OF pretty formidable once Hamilton comes back healthy.

I think the second trade is better for you. The first trade has a lot of upside, but it's also got some risk.

If he's dumb enough to take the second one, Lincecum is clearly way beyond Danks.
