Big Trade In The Works

Postby yanks0826 » Sat May 09, 2009 1:30 pm

First, my team is listed in my siggy.

What do you think of this deal?

I trade away Hamilton, Tejada, and Slowey

I get AJ Burnett, Jeter, and Granderson

Do I send this offer, is it fair?

Thanks for your help with mine.

I like the tade for you. Here's why:

1) Hamilton had an excellent year but we'll have to see what happens now once the league has had a good chance to look at him.
2) tejada's best days are behind him
3) Slowey has his moments but isn't really an impact fantasy player

on the other side

1) Burnett should give you all kinds of Ws and Ks and possibly good peripherals is everything goes well
2) Jeter v. Tejada is kind of a wash. Tejada has some weeks that are top notch along with a buch of avg killers
3) I'm big on Granderson. He has a longer track record than Hamilton and also gives you steals

In all it's a pretty even trade, though Burnett is an upgrade over Slowey and I'd bet that Granderson has a better year than Hamilton when all is said and done

I don't like it

Hamilton I think is coming back in a couple days when he is eligible to come off the DL and

Hamilton > Granderson

Jeter > Tejada

Not sold on either burnett or slowey, probably take burnett though.

i just don't think i would give up hamilton right now, and I don't see granderson being good enough to anchor this trade

Thanks for the help with mine and sorry to take so long to get back.

I think its fairly close but I would pull it. Hamilton is the best player but it looks like granderson is gonna pull in some solid power numbers this year. I really don't think they end of the year difference between the two will be huge.

Jeter is an upgrade over tejada

I like Burnett better than slowey.

I say go for it

youre giving up the best player in the deal, burnett will almost certainly get injured and is pitching in the toughest division, and jeter is old and has really never been a great fantasy SS. so really it comes down to hamilton for granderson, which is an overpayment in my eyes. i like grandy, but i think youre paying too much here

Basically, the shortstops are about a push. The gap from Slowey to Burnett it much greater than that from Granderson to Hamilton. Do it.

I dont' think I would do it. Burnett IMO you kinda know what you'll get from him and injury too :-D Jeter is an upgrade over Tejada and Grandy's putting it back together this year, BUT I dont' think this nec. helps your team.

Your getting more SB's (w/ Roberts and Ichiro, Rios and some Hunter) but your losing out on a lot of RBI's and HR's (more so RBI's b/c you'll have at least 3/4 leadoff hitters). Plus the fact that you are loading your team w/ Yankee's. Burnett, Tex, Arod, Jeter, Joba, which can be good, IF they hit that day/week.
