Trade Greinke or Hamilton? - Feedback Appreciated -WHIR

Postby jmcampbe11 » Sat May 16, 2009 11:25 pm

Looking to improve in batting avg. Have two trades on the table. Keep in mind this is sort of a keeper league. We keep 3 players each season. Right now Hamilton would probably be a keeper.

GIVE - Reynolds/Hamilton
GET - Choo/Markakis

OR

GIVE - Reynolds/Greinke
GET - Choo/Halladay

MY TEAM - 10 Team Roto League
C-Martin
1b-A.Gonzalez 3b-Longoria
2b-Phillips ss-Alx.Ramirez
MI-J.Lopez CI-Reynolds
OF-Sizemore, Hamilton
OF-Ad.Jones, V.Vells, Dye
Util-Crisp
SP-Greinke, Gallardo, Lilly, Jimenez, Nolasco, Carpenter, Smoltz
RP-Broxton, Qualls, Morrow, Percival, Ray

PS) If you think I'm not getting enough in return in either deal, what about this -

GIVE-Greinke/A.Gonzalez/Reynolds
GET-Halladay/M.Cabrera/Choo

Seem doable?

What you gain in Markakis is more appealing than the other deal, so I would lean that way personally.

That said, Hamilton could improve and make it a bad deal for you. He is due for some success soon I think.

I don't think I would do either although trade 2 is worth considering. Hamilton is a better keeper than Markakis in the short-term IMO. Greinke and Halladay both probably don't figure into the keeper equation. Greinke could probably net you more right now even though he and Halladay will be close in value the rest of the year. I would hold out for more....

If I were to do a trade, I would do the Ryenolds/Hamilton for Choo/Markakis. Think you got to stick with Greinke, being the true ace of your staff.

Thanks for the help with mine.

Think this would be too much of a stretch?

GIVE - Greinke/A.Gonzalez/Reynolds
GET - Halladay/M.Cabrera/ Choo

Worth a shot. I definitely like this one for you since MCab is the best keeper of the bunch. It doesn't look lopsided at all right now when you look at 2009 numbers so I would certainly dangle it out there.

I like the latest proposed deal, nut I'm not sure who would do it. Halladay > Greinke, Cabrera > A-Gon, and Choo > Reynolds

I actually like the 1st overall deal you talked about: Reynolds and Hamilton for Choo/Markakis. At this point, I'd take Markakis over Hamilton as he's steadily improved each season and is much less of an injury concern.

I don't like either trade - you're not getting anyone better than Greinke or Hamilton, so why do the deal?
