Halladay Keeper Trades WHIR

Postby MotorCityKitties » Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:54 pm

12 team 7x7 (R HR RBI .AVG OPS SB K's x W K's SV HLD WHIP ERA K/BB) Keeper

My 4 keepers will be:

MCab
Arod
Morneau
Halladay

Should I trade

Halladay for Carl Crawford?

or

Halladay and Nelson Cruz (who I'm not keeping anyway) for Grady Sizemore?

I'd keep Halladay. He is as sure thing as you can get at SP and you already have nice offensive keepers before Crawford. I like having at least one stud pitcher as a keeper.

please help

I've always been on the side for offense over pitching so Halladay would be dealt for Crawford for my team. I'll do just fine finding solid pitching.

Im leaning towards Crawford here too. He compliments your power heavy offense nicely. I too am in the crowd that believes good pitching can be had in the 'later rounds'. With Only 4 keepers per team, I would have to bet many great options will be out there for you.

Yep, I would take the hitting over the pitching pretty much any day. Halladay is as close to a sure thing there is but I could also see him wearing down under from high use. I'd take the SB's to go with the power you already have.

I've also got a trade offer out where I would give up Halladay and Nelson Cruz (I wouldn't keep him anyway) for Grady Sizemore. Is this trade preferable to the Crawford trade? If I took on Sizemore my K's would be pretty high, but that would be a solid 4 keepers. I too prefer to keep batters over pitchers.

I would rather trade Halladay straight up for Crawford than to trade Cruz and Halladay for Sizemore.

But I can't keep Cruz anyway, so it's essentially Halladay for Sizemore. Do you prefer Crawford to Sizemore because I don't.

Halladay for Sizemore is a great deal, imo.

Bump. I've edited the original post to include the Sizemore trade.
