Is this a good trade return for Manny? WHIR

Postby reverend » Thu Jun 25, 2009 11:46 am

12 team 5x5 H2H (voting on whether to make it a keep 5 or not)

I have recieved this offer for the soon returning Manny Ramirez.

Felix Hernandez & Johhny Cueto

Is that enough return or should I keep him?

Here are my league rankings per stat
Runs 3rd
HR 1st
RBI 1st
SB 3rd
AVG 3rd
Wins 4th
Saves 7th <-- really not a big deal I had a stretch with only 2 when Valverde was hurt but now I have 3 closers including Wilson's 20svs
K 3rd
Holds 1st
ERA 6th

I'm in 3rd place in the standings, but where Manny would help me the most I seem to have good control, but it's not like my pitchers are terrible either. Manny would help slump proof my offense. Is that more valuable then adding Felix K's and Cueto's ERA and their combined wins? I'd have to drop a pitcher to make room too.

FYI- I picked up Roy Oswalt off of waivers and traded him for Max Scherzer yesterday. Scherzers stats will help the pitching situation as well.
FYI- These stats include missing Price for 2 months, Harden for a 15 day DL, Bedard for a 15 day DL, and Halladay for 15 day DL. Just having them healthy will be a boost.

I'd post your roster first, to see what you have.

Cueto's ERA is due in part to a ridiculously lucky BABIP and I could see a regression coming. Felix is good but for the occasional clunker.

I agree with your thought that ManRam slump-proofs your lineup and I think you could do better than two SP's. Might also be helpful to see the roster of the guy who made the offer. Good luck.

Thanks for help on mine.

I'd go for it. Ramirez will come back blazing (most likely), but you clearly need the pitching help.

He has amazing pitching and terrible hitting so I see why he wants Manny.

He first offered Hernandez, Cueto, and Wells for Manny and Stewart
I countered Manny for Carpenter and Hernandez
He has countered Hernandez and Cueto

Maybe I just stay put?

absolutely do not do this deal, you held on to manny this long. You might as well keep him from here on out.

I rejected this deal and in comes a new one.

Now for Manny and Harden they are offering Johan Santana and Johnny Cueto

This is more tempting. Advice?
