Paul Konerko for Justin Upton

Postby lane_anasazi2 » Sat Jul 18, 2009 10:02 am

Straight up trade, I give up Konerko, get Upton. 7x7, 12 team H2H league. BB and OPS are the other two hitting categories. Here's my team, not listing pitching since it's irrelevant to the deal:

C - Víctor Martínez
1B - Mark Teixeira
2B - Chase Utley
3B - David Wright
SS - J.J. Hardy
OF - Carlos Lee
OF - Andre Ethier
OF - Michael Cuddyer
UTL - Joey Votto
UTL - Paul Konerko
BN - James Loney

With this deal I'd stick Upton at 3rd OF instead of Cuddyer and then play Loney at UTL. Thoughts?

Definitely do it, but I'd still play Cuddyer over Loney. No reason why Upton's not taking the UTIL slot Konerko's leaving.

I would do this, especially if it's a keeper league.

Can't possibly be a keeper, right? Not that it isn't still a very nice trade.

No, it's not a keeper. If it was, I wouldn't have even asked about it. Just would have clicked "accept" immediately.

I think that's an easy deal to make. I think Upton is much better than Konerko.

Thanks for the help with mine.;-D Yes I would do this deal. I would also consider starting Cuddyer over Loney since Loney's .750 OPS is a kill in a format like yours.
