First trade of the Year: Lind/Dunn for Morales/Liriano

[gws226]

I would be receiving Lind/Dunn. I was excited at this deal at first... but I got cold feet... Lind and Dunn weren't guys I had targetted on draft day where-as Morales and Lirano were.

Roto: 12 Team
My team:
C: Russel Martin
1B. Morales
2B. Pedoria

SP: LinceK, Nolasco, Ben Sheets, MadMax, Tim Hudson, Ervin Santana, Liriano
RP: Broxton, Nathan, Qualls

I don't know if your league has K for the offense; in that case, it is up to your situation (whether you need more HR or SP). If K is not the offense category, I would do it.

Morales is not much better than Dunn except AVG and many experts do not see repetition of 300 this season.
Lind is better than Liriano.

Only concern is 'lack of SP' in your roster.

If you do this deal your OF would have to be the best or among the best in your league. I don't have to say anything about Braun, Sizemore should bounce back and Lind is a 30/100/.300ish OF. You have a nice 1-2 punch with Lincecum and Nolasco, and i have a personal vendetta against Liriano (who screwed me in more than 1 league). and Dun will hit 40 homers again with 100 rbis...but with a .006 avg. So if you don't mind that one avg hindering your team, i'm all for this deal.

Pull the trigger.

I'd take Lind and Dunn easily, which is simply the safest side. I'd say Lind is a better bet than Morales to knock in 30-35 HR while Dunn's power reliability is just the more desirable thing to have over an upside pitcher who has great stuff but has had struggles harnessing his command in Liriano.

I would definitely do the deal. Liriano's speed has dropped off. I am not sold on his value.

[Johnny Tuttle]

Huge no brainer for me.

Morales had an unstainable hr/fb rate last year, and I'm sorry to say that I've stopped waiting for Liriano to recover from his TJ.

Dunn's power is wicked, and I've taked Lind in mocks (even if I don't believe in him quite that much).

Giddy-up.

Chuck up another yes vote. If you want to grab another SP to replace Liriano look and see if Shaun Marcum or Dustin McGowan are there in FA. Both are back and healthy and looking good so far in spring training for the Jays. I would drop Nathan to pick up one of those 2 also Jason Frasor should be out and will get the starting closing duties in Toronto - put up solid numbers in limited closing role last year. To get Frasor drop Blanks or Jennings

[dave knight]

I'm one of the biggest Dunn detractors (at least compared to his current market price), but I don't see why anyone would want to touch Liriano. The Dunn/Lind side wins.
