J Upton for R Harden, does this make sense

Postby goldhow » Mon May 11, 2009 11:17 am

I have been offered J Upton for R Harden. My team's pitching has been great but started out hitting badly but seems to be coming around now. Worse is that I just lost ARam and now don't really have a 3B so maybe I should try to get one of Harden instead.

Also, was wondering if it were better to trade Millwood to M Teahan or H Blaylock. I think I could get either for him but not sure which 3B is a better stop gap.

Here's my roster.

C Pablo Sandoval(SF - C,1B,3B)
1B Todd Helton(Col - 1B)
2B Brandon Phillips(Cin - 2B)
3B Emilio Bonifacio(Fla - 2B,3B)
SS Hanley Ramírez(Fla - SS)
OF Adam Jones(Bal - OF)
OF Jay Bruce(Cin - OF)
OF Corey Hart(Mil - OF)
Util Asdrubal Cabrera(Cle - 2B,SS)
BN Chris Young(Ari - OF)
BN Aramis Ramírez(ChC - 3B) DL
BN Lance Berkman(Hou - 1B)
BN Dexter Fowler(Col - OF)
BN Kendry Morales(LAA - 1B,OF)

SP Rich Harden(ChC - SP)
SP Zack Greinke(KC - SP)
SP Jordan Zimmermann(Was - SP)
SP Ubaldo Jiménez(Col - SP)
RP Joe Nathan(Min - RP)
RP Jonathan Broxton(LAD - RP)
RP Troy Percival(TB - RP)
RP Jason Frasor(Tor - RP)
P Juan Cruz(KC - RP)
P Jason Motte(StL - RP)
BN Jon Lester(Bos - SP)
BN Kevin Millwood(Tex - SP)
BN Justin Masterson(Bos - SP,RP)
DL Chris Carpenter(StL - SP) DL

Millwood for Teahen/Blalock is the better trade for you IMO.

If you need AVG more, target Teahen
If you need PWR and RBI more, target Blalock.

I don't think I'd give up Harden for J.Upton.

Help me? viewtopic.php?f=26&t=384608&p=3072265#p3072265

Keep Harden!! I agree with 100% Izzy. Millwood for Teahan/Blalock is much better for you.

Depends if you are looking for avg...or looking for HR & HRs.

Thanks for the help with mine
