zimmerman/branyan for rolen/inge

Postby prophet_x » Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:52 pm

14-team h2h yahoo league. I recently made a trade that will send my Ryan Zimmerman and Russell Branyan for Scott Rolen and Brandon Inge. I'm a huge Jays fan and I could'nt pass this up mainly because I think that Branyan's success wont last and Zimmerman has been hot and cold since the start. So what does everyone think? Bad move?

my squad:

Rod Barajas
Lyle Overbay
Brian Roberts
Ryan Zimmerman
Derek Jeter
Vernon Wells
Adam Lind
Ichiro Suzuki
Álex Ríos
Ben Zobrist
Russell Branyan
Ryan Ludwick
Carlos Quentin

CC Sabathia
Kevin Slowey
CJ Wilson
Frank Fransisco
Joba Chamberlain
Josh Johnson
BJ Ryan
Erik Bedard
Scott Downs
Roy Halladay

his squad:

Bengie Molina
Albert Pujols
Ian Stewart
Scott Rolen
Troy Tulowitzki
Brandon Inge
Brad Hawpe
Cody Ross
Marlon Byrd
Todd Helton
Juan Rivera
Adam Kennedy

Dan Haren
Nick Blackburn
George Sherrill
LaTroy Hawkins
Huston Street
Joel Piñeiro
Tim Wakefield
J.A. Happ
Scott Kazmir

I don't think that this is an awful deal, but it was done for awful reasons. Any time that a major factor in a trade is that you are a huge fan of a certain team, your head is not in the right place to play optimum fantasy baseball.

Also, of the reasons you gave foe doing the deal, you missed the best one, with Inge upgrading you at catcher.
