Am I giving too much in this trade for closers? WHIR

Postby jay_23_bball » Fri May 08, 2009 10:26 am

I want to improve my K's from my pitchers, so im trying to work some trades to do as much...

I get: Mike Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki
I give: Brad Ziegler and Asdrubal Cabrera

My thinking is that Gonzalez will give similar era/saves/etc with more K's and I am selling high cabrera and buying low on TT. Even if TT doesn't improve at all, I have Cano and Stephen Drew to fill my middle infield spots and just have Tulo on the bench or dropped for a replacement.

Thoughts on this trade?

Post a link to yours and I will return the favor

Loving that trade, Asdrubal as a sell high and Tulo as a buy low is a good pickup, and Gonzalez will definitely improve your Ks vs. Ziegler, since he regularly posts a better K/9 rate. He may even outproduce Ziegler in saves, though he's a slightly more hit-prone pitcher I think, it's very even there. As long as you can ride out Tulo's slump, I'd go for it!

Help with mine? Thanks! viewtopic.php?t=383507
