Billingsley trade offer WHIR

Postby Robert1977 » Thu Jul 16, 2009 2:06 pm

I'm in a 12-team, 6X6 (holds, D+T), NL-only, keeper league. I've been offered Chad Billingsley for Jason Marquis and Kyle Drabek. I'm thinking I should do this now, even though Billingsley cannot be kept.

Still, I'm worried about Billingsley's play the last several outings. Does anyone have concerns about him?

Thanks.

Take Billingsley, he has hit a few bumps in the road but he is a superb pitcher on a great team. Especially in a keeper league, expect a possible Cy Young Award in the near future.

Help with mine?

Agreed here. While Drabek could be an ace in a few years from now, go with the proven commodity, Billingsley.

help?

I don't know about this league, but in many keepers, you can only keep someone for 2 or 3 seasons after they were drafted, then they go back in the pool. I imagine it's something like that.

A player can only be kept up to three years. Billingsley is a third-year player.

I'd only do this trade if it will help you win the championship(you are contending)... Otherwise keep your prospects, it sounds like a team is trying to rebuild by trading away Billingsley in his last year.
