I've just been offered Justin Upton for Brandon Webb. I could use the offensive firepower, and this is a KEEPER league. Good trade?
10 team, standard roto (QS, not Wins)
MY TEAM:
C: B. Molina 1B: J. Morneau 2B: B. Phillips 3B: M. Lowell SS: M. Young OF: Ca. Lee OF: A. Dunn OF: J. Pierre UTL: M. Bourn B: K. Fukodome B: O. Hudson B: M. Scutaro B: W. Taveras B: P. Konerko
SP: J. Santana SP: J. Verlander RP: F. Rodriguez RP: C. Qualls RP: F. Rodney RP: R. Soriano P: Cl. Lee B: R. Wolf B: M. Buerle DL: B. Webb
i would say don't do it if you didn't have solid pitching already. you've been without webb all season, so i think it's a good deal. however, with webb's name and known skills, i think you could ask him to throw in a pitcher with upton. if not, i still like the deal. not sure how good webb will be whenever he comes back.
Tough choice. Upton should be a stud, but he has only had a good month (look at his splits) and Webb (when healthy) is a top 5 pitcher. How many players do you keep? Perusing your team I'd say Morneau, Phillips, Carlos Lee, and Santana are LOCKS, with Verlander a no-brainer, and if you freeze even more, F-Rod fits the bill...so how many do you keep?
