My Josh Joshnson for B.J. Upton in a Dynasty WHIR!

[jonance]

12 Team H2H Dynasty Format (Keep All Players Forever)
6x6 (OPS & HLD are extra categories)

Hey guys...I am in a dynasty league that I won last year, but have fallen out of the playoff picture already this year due to injuries, underperforming, etc. In head to head (especially with Holds), i tend to not value pitching nearly as much as bats...as you throw so many guys out there an ace is really devalued to me. Not to mention in a dynasty, pitchers are more likely to be hurt or just lose their skills too.

Anyhow, I've been offered B.J. Upton for Josh Johnson. Johnson is showing ace potential....but Upton would give me a young speed element who can also hit homers. I know he's having a tough year so far, but I would have him for as long as i want in the dynasty. Would you guys do this deal and why or why not? Lineup below.

It would leave your pitching staff pretty depleted, but this is a deal you cannot pass up. BJ in a dynasty is gold for me. Shoudl outproduce Johnson every year I imagine, especially in a league with holds.
