If its a keeper league I say yes. If not I say no. Manny for Bay is a fairly even swap. Peavy is a bounce back question mark, where Bumgardner is a prospect question mark.

Hmm... I'm thinking no. Your team is decent right now, but if you did this trade you would lose one of your best starting pitchers and replace him with a huge question mark. It would have to take a few high upside question marks in order for me to do this trade. I also think Manny and Peavy are a bit under-rated. Manny's being avoided like the plague, even though I think he's still good for a .300-30-100 campaign, and Peavy is being treated even worse with people thinking the switch from leagues and ballparks will increase his ERA by ten-fold. I would not do this trade if I were you, especially if you have any hope of competing this year.

For me, this is nearly a deal.

Manny is on his last leagues, and there are substantial warning bells on Peavy.

Still, it's not like Bay's in a great park, or Bumgarner isn't overrated.

Try fishing for Manny for a prospect by himself. Peavy isn't nearly the problem Manny could be.

[Kimbos Beard]

Not sure I pull the trigger. Bay and Manny is pretty close even in a keeper. Manny is almost on his last leg but is still capable of .290 25-30 -100 this year for sure and Bay playing in that monstrous park with his knee ailment that the BoSox were worried about isnt exactly a recipe for a can't miss keeper.

As far as Bum-Peavy go. It's a matter of what are you willing to gamble more on, that Peavy stays healthy or that Bum is the real deal. You could go either way, but I think I would lean more towards the proven pitcher with injury risk rather than a hyped prospect.

It's not automatic... but I shy away from this deal.

[Appleowner]

Thanks for all the great feedback. Helped a lot, I just couldn't get past bumgarner.

[Johnny Tuttle]

Good decision: I'm concerned Bumgarner with a 91-92 FB and little secondary is more Tim.....Alderson than Lincecum.

And Manny is someone who could be poof poof after this year, not to mention that this year's not even close to a sure thing. I would start greasing the wheels towards seeing if someone else would pay too much for his name b4 it's way too late.
