Jermaine Dye for BJ Upton or Nick Swisher

Postby screwball1234 » Tue May 12, 2009 9:39 pm

I have been offered two trades for Dye one for N. Swisher and another for BJ Upton. Buy low on Upton, trade for Swisher or Hold.

Dye is solid and you know what to expect from him in and out every season. Swisher had a hot start but came back down to earth where he will stay. That owner missed the opportunity to sell high on him. I wouldn't do the BJ Upton because who knows if he is going to recover from his hammy issues he is having this season.

Dye is boring. But boring in a good way, he is consistent. At this point Justin looks like the better Upton. Say no to Swisher, he rarely can keep his average up.

I think you hold for now.

Take Upton and run. Sure, there is risk involved but he's stealing a ton of bases and has the ability to be a top 15 hitter. Once he starts swinging with more confidence, and I think he can turn it around in the next month or two, he'll have way more impact on your team than Dye.

I agree with the last 2 posts, take Upton and forget about it. You have Mags to fill in and he should come around some so at worst Upton gets you nothing and you play Mags. Not much of a dropoff there. At best Upton goes 20-40 and you have an early 2nd rounder for a cheap price. Even if you don't like Upton you should do the deal and flip BJ to someone else once he gets it going a little.

I'd take a chance on Upton. For the long run, I like TBs offense more. The top of that order is stacked! They'll get it rolling soon enough.

Here, I'd leave Upton. He hasn't shown much this season. Dye is pretty good, but you may be able to take Swisher, who is playing better, then get an even better player in return for him if he plays really well for another week.

I completely agree with this. Upton is just too much of a variable. There could be a big payoff, but with Dye you get the consistancy that is key to fantasy baseball. Stand pat.

Thanks for you help with mine.
