This is the trade:
I'll get:
1B/3B Russel Branyan
P Johan Santana
I'll give away:
1B Prince Fielder
P Matt Capps
I know Matt Capps just got hurt but its a keeper league and we keep 5 guys and Prince is one of my guys...I realize Johan Santana would be a keeper but i don't know much about Russel Branyan...what do you guys think?

Russell Branyan has always had a lot of power and if he continues to get regular at bats like this he will keep hitting HRs and RBI's in the middle of the order...that said, the average will not remain at 305..he strikes out a lot and has had BABIP help...so I expect his average to end up somewhere around 255 at the end of the season...
He's not a keeper by any means...but he's a decent bet to mitigate the power lossed by Fielder leaving
Long term this is not a tremendous deal for you and I don't play in keeper leagues but I think as a win-now move, it's solid depending on how much you could use a frontline starter like Johan and how much you can afford to lose the saves
Why don't they just get a house that's already painted?

I agree. Well worth it to land Johan. Pull the trigger.
Help with mine?
