Do I buy into the hype or is Heyward 1 year away. I know what I should get from Jones 275avg, 80-90R, 18-22HR, 75-85RBI, 10-15SB. Would I get that with Heyward with the possibility of more? Or stand pat with Jones who is more of a known with Heyward being 1 yr away from being a star?
Advices please? 100% WHIR
Here is my roster: 10 Team Head2Head 5X5 REDRAFT C:Napoli 1b:Howard 2b:Cano 3b:Zimmerman SS:Tulo OF:Bay, C. Lee, Adam Jomes Util:Hunter BN: McLouth, Prado, A. LaRoche, Rajai Davis SP: Sabathia, Jimenez RP: Soria, Soriano SP/RP: Peavy, Shields,Floyd BN: Cueto, J. Sanchez, Blanton
I like the deal. In the end, I think they post similar stats, but I think that Heyward has a better chance to approach .300. What really put this over the top is the fact that Heyward has been relatively healthy which Jones has missed significant time the past two seasons. If Heyward get off to a hot start, his trade value will likely skyrocket over his real value and you could probably net a nice young, surer thing to boot.
Want to see what others think of this? Buy the hype of Heyward this year in a redraft? I know the guy has talent but not sure if I should be buying right now on this?
I think that you will get similar results from Heyward and when he struggles you can put McClouth into your lineup and again get about the same results. Once Heyward gets hot filp him. You may be able to get a better deal before the season even starts, everyone is all over him now.
even in a redraft league, i STILL do this trade. There are a lot of players similar to Jones...maybe Heyward will be, BUT I think Heyward has the potential to be something special, so I'd take the chance on him
