Upton and Wright trade....please help

[jtwise]

Was recently offered David Wright straight up for Justin Upton.

I am in a keeper league with standard 5X5 roto scoring. We keep five players with due date for keepers coming up soon. Without this trade my keepers would be Justin Upton, CC Sabathia, Ryan Zimmerman, Aaron Hill, and Tommy Hanson. Note that I could keep Jay Bruce instead of Aaron Hill.

I think I want to hold on to Upton but wondering if I should propose back Upton and Zimmerman for Wright and Sizemore.

What are your thoughts?

Post your question and I will help in return.

I would not deal Upton for Wright, with all the uncertainty around Wright's power. I fully expect Wright to hit 20HR this coming season, but there is a good amount of risk involved. Upton on the other hand, has tons of potential, and I wouldn't trade him away if I could help it. Adding to it that you already have a top 5 3B in Zimmerman, and I would stick with what you have. I would keep Jay Bruce over Hill too.

stick w/ upton

and I think I'd keep Hill over Bruce. OF is deeper than 2B and while I don't think Hill repeats last year's performance... I think he's still a better 2B option than Bruce is an OF option.

Keep Upton. Both have some question marks for next season and a lot of people think both will be better than they were last year but I think Upton will be at least as good as Wright if not better and you already have a good 3B. I would also keep Hill. With you only keeping 5, you should have a couple of shots at Bruce if you want him back (which I would).

Trade looks like somewhat of a wash. I'd keep the 30 hr 2B over the 30 hr OF.

I would prefer Upton to Wright even if your 3b slot wasn't filled. The fact that you have Zimmerman just makes the choice even more obvious. Upton isn't a future stud, he is a stud right now, and will be even better in the future.

As far as the Hill-Bruce debate is concerned, I really like Jay Bruce moving forward, but there isn't a ton of depth in the 2b position this year. That being said, if you could pick up Ian Stewart (qualifies at 2b in most leagues) or Gordon Beckham (will qualify at 2b this year after he gets the required # of games), then I think you will be able to replicate Hill's numbers for the most part--maybe making A.Hill a trade chip?
