Happ/Parker for Alonso/Beckham?

Postby JErik20 » Fri Aug 14, 2009 9:29 pm

I am in a keeper auction contract league. We have a minor league squad consisting of 8 players. Once they lose their minor league eligibility you sign them to a contract up to 6 years long. My minor league squad looks like this:

Scott Elbert
Yonder Alonso
Tim Beckham
Jake Arrieta
Devaris "Dee" Gordon
Derek Norris
Bud Norris
Dustin Ackley


I have some decent young pitching on my major squad with Tommy Hanson, Edwin Jackson, Ricky Romero, and Chris Volstad. BUT i have a better offense with David Wright, Kevin Youkilis, Josh Hamilton, and Carlos Quentin as my core. I have been offered JA Happ and Jarrod Parker for Tim Beckham and Yonder Alonso and am completely stumped. Link me and I'll help you in return

Must confess, I've never been in a fantasy league with a minor league squad, but Happ is the only player among those listed that has really proved himself in the bigs as far as I know. Do it.

Please help me out:

I do like Happ, and it does add value that he has done well this season, but he's the oldest player and probably the least heralded of the 4 guys. Thanks a ton for your input

I too have never done minor league trades, but if you need pitching I agree with the previous poster that you should take Haap. I could be way off base here, if so I am sorry, just trying to help...I think. :-o
