Big trade involving Lincecum and M. Cabrera

Postby negcreep80 » Wed Jul 22, 2009 1:36 pm

The trade is I would get:

1B-Miguel Cabrera
OF-Curtis Granderson
RP-Heath Bell
SP-Kevin Correia

for

SP-Tim Lincecum
1B-Kevin Youkilis
OF-Nyjer Morgan
OF-Carlos Quentin

I'm in last place, so I was hoping to make a deal to improve my struggling offense. As hard as it would be to lose Lincecum, my hope was that the production from Cabrera would boost my offense for years to come. However, I'm not sold on the other players involved...I don't really have a need another relief pitcher (unless Capps is definitely being traded and won't be a closer down the stretch) or low-tier starter like Correia, so in essence I'd be giving Youk, Morgan, and Quentin for Granderson. Not exactly a good move to improve my overall offense. Am I being overly apprehensive, or does this look like a bad trade for me?

I'm in a Yahoo, H2H keeper league with 12 teams.

Offensive categories are R, RBI, HR, BB, K, FPct, BA, OPS, NSB...Pitching categories are W, L, CG, BB, K, WHIP, ERA, NSV

C-Chris Iannetta
1B-Kevin Youkilis
2B-Robinson Cano
3B-Aramis Ramírez
SS-Stephen Drew
OF-Grady Sizemore
OF-Shin Soo Choo
OF-Michael Cuddyer
UTIL-Jason Kubel
UTIL-Nyjer Morgan
BN-Ian Stewart
BN-Maicer Izturis
BN-Kendry Morales
DL-Carlos Quentin

SP-Tim Lincecum
SP-Matt Garza
RP-Ryan Franklin
RP-Matt Capps
P-Andrew Bailey
P-Matt Thornton
P-Max Scherzer
BN-John Lackey
BN-Brad Bergesen
BN-John Danks

I don't like the deal for you at all. lincecum is worth cabrera, but youk is worth more than granderson. also, i'd much rather have quentin and morgan than bell and correia.
