Ellsbury/Butler/Peralta for Morales/Getz/MCab?(WHIR)

[kidsilk]

AL only league, 10 teams, 23 player rosters, 7 keepers per year with 3 year contracts, 5x5 roto style

I was offered Ellsbury(1 year left), Billy Butler(2 years left) and Peralta(2 years left) for my Morales(3 years), Getz(3 years) and MCab (1 year).

Now I am probably going to decline this offer unless you guys think I should take it(I do need speed) but I was thinking about countering with something like:

Ellsbury, Butler, Peralta for Izturis, Murphy and MCab because MCab is so valuable. But, I doubt the other guy will take it. Do you have any other ideas that I could offer or should I take this deal?

Try again, at least read the post so you respond correctly.

Im not crazy about either deal. I think MCab should be able to fetch you more. No speed available on the wire???

I wouldnt want to deal mcab for speed.

Mine please if you can: viewtopic.php?t=388306

[philaphan]

You should be able to get more for MCab....I wouldn't do the deal!

I would search the wire for speed.....

Thanks for the help with mine!

Meh, I don't like it for you. You can get decent speed from the FA market.

Help me please?

Don't like this deal at all. I realize that peralta has significant value in an AL-only league, but mcab is a top 5 player and you should be able to get a power hitter AND a speed guy for him. butler is really not worth that much in my opinion. if you are hell bent on dealing mcab for speed, you should definitely go after crawford at the very least. i still like mcab by a wide margin over crawford though.

thanks for the help with mine.

THere is no decent speed options on the ww as this is a very deep AL ONLY league so I need to make a trade to get some speed. I know MCab is awesome so I am not sure I should do this deal but I think I am getting good value back in Ellsbury, Butler and Peralta for Murphy, Getz and MCab. Any other opinions? I am currently in fourth place in this league and last in SB.

[kidsilk]

How about if I substituted Mike Jacobs in for Butler and added Vlad to the deal? So something like:

Jacobs
Peralta
Vlad
Ellsbury

for

MCab
Getz
Murphy
Kubel

Would that make it a better deal or still a no go?

[Howie]

Gotta agree with everyone else, MCab can land you much more, and you should be able to trade for speed without giving up a top-5 talent.

[angels7777]

ya no way you do that deal - trade for cheaper speed without giving up M-Cab
