Geez, another trade!!

Postby oldmanbean » Fri Feb 12, 2010 6:46 pm

The guy has 3 pitchers we are discussing, Wainwright, Kershaw and Kazmir. each would obviously take different players on my part.

I am asking for Wainwright first, as he wants one of my keepers.

trade proposed is: Catcher, Markakis and Broxton for Wainwright. I am only keeping one catcher, so that is immaterial.
I would also like an OF in return, not sure if he would go for that (Swisher or McCutchen, too much?)

Markakis was my only keeper OF, so kind of empty out there....

Thanks!!

Keeper league, will be getting Miggy for Santana.

Broxton and Markakis are at nice prices. I would keep them. What is Wainwright Kershaw salary? I like Kershaw much more all being equal.

What would it take to get Kershaw?

I don't mind that trade though I think you should be able to get an OF in return. But I don't mind giving up Markakis and Broxton for one of the better SP out there.

I am just asking him that same question. I think he will part with Kazmir without needing Markakis, but don't think he would do that with Kershaw. He really likes the guy, same as I do Markakis. Had him since he was a pup!

thanks for your input!!

okay, here are 2 counter-offers:

1) Wainwright, Swisher and Wolf for Markakis, Posada, Broxon and Andrus. I suggested Kazmir instead of Wolf.

2) Kazmir, Wolf and Swisher for Markakis and Martin. I suggested McCutchen

What say you all??

Even with my changes?? Catcher does not really matter, I am getting rid of one anyway.
I am losing Markakis vs Swisher, winning handily Wainwright vs Broxton AND getting Kazmir.

Second one I am losing markakis vs McCutchen, but getting Kazmir and Wolf

What would you like to see??

Appreciate your opinions!

What are the prices of those you might get?

I like 2 more. In 1, you lose to much in Markakis/Broxton talent at $17.

Wainwright is $10, Swisher $4, Kazmir $13, McCutchen $9, and Wolf is $5
Would you take Wolf over Kazmir?? last year he was better, but Kaz is predicted to do much better this year.
Then maybe I could sub Bell for Broxton??

Thanks again!
