Ibanez for Mauer/Granderson? WHIR 100%

[tstringe]

The only spot on my roster that is in need of help is my catcher. I'm in a 10 team H2H non-keeper league with standard ESPN categories. Is it worth it to downgrade to Granderson while upgrading with Mauer? As always, I will help in return; just leave a link.

Well, my personal opinion on catchers is that they are pretty much the same across the board... Yes, Mauer is an upgrade, but you're losing out on the huge production that Ibanez is providing. I'd say no to this deal, but just my opinion, of course.

I say do the deal it's a decent 2 for 1 deal to me Maur is a much bigger upgrade then granderson being a down grade good deal take it.

I don't really like the deal.....I don't think I'd take it, if it were offered to me.......Ibanez may continue to put up the numbers.......that Mauer and Grandy can't account for.....

this is a no brainer deal

capitalizing on the extremely sell high value ibanez has right now

I say no to this deal, but not for the same reason that everyone else is giving... value wise i would take it, Mauer and Granderson combine to top Ibanez in all power categories by the end of the season IMO and you would also add a better average player in Mauer at a shallow position and more SB with granderson... NO WAY Ibanez keeps up this torrid pace, he won't end the season over .300 (not saying i believe Mauer will bat .400+, but will still be a very very nice mid .300s)... remember Ibanez is the image of consistency but not consistently 35 hr and 110-120 rbi, more like hes hit 30+ hr ONCE... his stats are incredibly inflated and i think you should sell high on him now... BUT the reason i say no is simply because its a 2-1 and you really don't have anyone that you can drop Choo is your only bench player and he still has good trade value...

what i would do is try to counter with an Ibanez with Choo and also SP like Hanson, Lilly or Vazquez for Mauer, slight upgrade over granderson if you can get it and a SP upgrade... hope this helps!
