Is Braun worth it?? WHIR

[wyld stallions]

I was thinking of offering Haren, Sizemore and Gutierrez for Cain, Billingsley and Braun. What do you think??

12 team, h2h, 3 man keeper

Scoring:
H, 2, 3, hr, R, RBi, BB, Ave. OBP, SB, SO, E
W, L, CG, SHO, SO, BB, HR, ERA, WHIP, SV, BSV

My team:
C: Montero
1st: Teixeira, Votto
2nd: Utley, Hill
3rd: Wright, ARod
SS: Tulo
OF: Bay, Dye, Sizemore, Gutierrez
SP: Hamel, Haren, Vazquez, Nolasco, Sanchez, Duchscherer (DL)
RP: Francisco, Soria, Qualls, Howell

Sizemore will be great, but I see Braun consistantly being btter than him. Haren is phenomenal but Cain has put up some incredible numbers without much attention it seems like, and I have no faith in Gutierez at this point, and won't trade for him this year, all of a sudden putting up reasonable numbers. I think the dropoff from Haren to Cain is minor compared to the bump to Braun, and Billingsly will put it back together. Problem is he won't accept that...

Yes, Braun is worth that and more. If you get away with this deal, it's a huge steal on your part. Sizemore is great, but Braun is better and a top 5 worthy pick over the next bunch of years in 1 year leagues. Sizemore, while probably 1st round will not be top 5.

Haren is the best pitcher of the bunch but I love what I've seen from Billingsley and Cain is also a very good starter. I would not be worrying about pulling the trigger on this deal. I would be so happy with the return.

um, that offer stands no chance. braun > sizemore, billingsley >>>> gutierrez and haren and cain are really close.

What if I do Hill instead Gutierrez

What if I do Hill instead Gutierrez

then it's a very fair swap. i'd still rather have the braun side because grady might get shut down and haren is typically a first half pitcher.

I like this trade for you, too. Braun is a premiere player and if Sizemore indeed gets shut down, you get no value whatsoever out of him of course. Having Bills and Cain both is better than just having Haren no matter how great he is + he has historically faded in the 2nd half. Not saying he's gonna be awful, but you're getting fantastic value in return.... even if you have to part with Hill, you still make out pretty good in this deal.

Help with mine if you can, my deadline is tonight!
