I am in a deep Dynasty League. It is only 10 teams but we carry 32 MLB players plus 15 minor league players. I have been trying to get Justin Upton because I feel he is still undervalued. I got sent an offer that is very pricey so I was wanting some opinions on whether it is worth it or not. Here is my team first.
C - Soto, Weiters
1B - Pujols, Votto, Butler
2B - Pedroia, Coghlan
3B - Longoria
SS - Tulo, Yunel, Asdrubal
OF - BJ Upton, Sizemore, Kemp, Hamilton, Rajai Davis, Rasmus and Coghlan
SP - Felix, Wainwright, Gallardo, Kershaw, Nolasco, Ervin Santana, Holland, Brett Anderson, Matusz
RP - Broxton, Capps, Howell, Fuentes
Minor Notables - Smoak, Alvarez, Hosmer, Montero, Morrison, Moustakas, Brandon Allen, Tim Beckham, Marrero...
So the trade is
Sizemore, Bruce and Yunel
for
Justin Upton
So is this worth the high price? I have a lot of talent but OF is my weakest area right now. I do think that I will more likely be able to find OF help on the WW than any other position but Sizemore is a stud and Bruce could be a stud. Escobar has not played at all for me this year so he is a throw in. I also should mention that I need to open some room up by next season so that I can call up Brandon Allen, Alcides Escobar and Brian Matusz. There aren't a lot of players that I would be willing to drop to make those moves so this could be considered Sizemore, Bruce and Yunel for Upton, Matusz and Allen but really if I made another move I probably wouldn't lose Bruce in it.
...and as always WHIR.
