Trade Wright/Bourn for Pena/MYoung?

Postby BravesGuy » Tue Mar 16, 2010 3:10 pm

My team needs some power, badly. I was just offered this trade.

Give David Wright and Michael Bourn
Get Carlos Pena and Michael Young

My gut says reject since I am giving up the best/highest drafted player, but I'm not sure on this one. I don't really need Bourn since I have Reyes for SBs.

14 teams, Standard 5x5 Head to Head, redraft.

my team:
C Russell Martin (LAD - C)
1B James Loney (LAD - 1B)
2B Plácido Polanco (Phi - 2B)
3B David Wright (NYM - 3B)
SS José Reyes (NYM - SS)
LF Bobby Abreu (LAA - LF,RF)
CF Michael Bourn (Hou - CF)
RF J.D. Drew (Bos - RF)
Util Chris Coghlan (Fla - LF)
BN Carlos González (Col - LF,CF)
BN Nolan Reimold (Bal - LF)
BN Casey McGehee (Mil - 2B,3B)

SP Tim Lincecum (SF - SP)
SP CC Sabathia (NYY - SP)
RP Jonathan Broxton (LAD - RP)
RP Kerry Wood (Cle - RP)
P Yovani Gallardo (Mil - SP)
P Wandy Rodríguez (Hou - SP)
P Kevin Slowey (Min - SP)
P Jorge De La Rosa (Col - SP)
BN Kenshin Kawakami (Atl - SP,RP)
BN Jon Rauch (Min - RP)

No. Bad deal for you. A lot of people think Wright will be back to hitting 25+ HR so don't trade him looking for power as he should give you some. Plus he is the best player in the deal. I also wouldn't be too sure that Reyes is going to give you SB. If he is the only SB threat you have then I would hang on to Bourn. Wright is a top 20 player right now so expect that kind of return for him. If you need power than look for Ryan Howard don't settle for Pena.
