Billingsley for ??? WHIR

Postby Urban Cohorts » Tue Feb 16, 2010 1:02 pm

5x5 Keeper League

I want to offer my Chad Billingsley for either his Bobby Abreau or Curtis Granderson.

My OF is very weak (we use LF/CF/RF + 1 OF), with Johnny Damon being my only OF. I have another elite SP and 2 other SP on parish (W Rodriguez, J Weaver) with Billingsley. The draft also looks quite deep for SP this year too. Plus, my team is geared toward this year, so the long term value of Billingsley is not an issue (he does have a lot of IP logged for his age too).

Problem is that I feel Billingsley for Granderson would be fair, but I would much rather have Abreu (need steals). I'm not sure if that deal would be insulting though. Any insight would be vastly appreciated!

I think you get a better deal with Granderson. Coming into that Yankee lineup and the park, looki for granderson to have a great several years to come, esp if he bats 2nd in the order. Abreu is nice, but keep in mind his age and he busted his ass last season to get the contract he got this year....I'd take granderson all day everyday here...I'm thinking about acquiring him myself in my trade...help me out?

I wouldn't Trade Billingsley for Abreau, dont expect the same numbers he doesn't have the some upside as Graderson. I might even Keep Billingsley. You can always trade him later in the season to a team rebuilding. How many years are these guys under contract for? Do they count by round drafted? These are important considerations in valuing this trade.

I would try for Granderson first, but I don't know if Bills straight up is enough to get either one of them.

No contracts, we just keep 10 players from year to year.
