Move Morneau/Cameron for BJ Upton/Cantu ??

Postby mm92280 » Wed Mar 31, 2010 11:16 pm

I'm in a 20 team H2H league and am looking at various ways to improve my everyday lineup and I'm thinking of offering Justin Morneau and Mike Cameron for BJ Upton and Jorge Cantu. I know I would be losing a premier bat in Morneau and hurting my power numbers just a bit but Upton would give me a speed upgrade and good bit of upside, while overall improving my outfield situation.

Scoring-wise, my league counts AVG, Runs, HR, RBI, Steals and OPS.

Here is my team, as it currently stands:

C: J. Clement
1B: R. Howard
2B: I. Stewart
SS: J. Rollins
3B: K. Kouzmanoff
LF: C. Gonzalez
CF: D. Stubbs
RF: J. Hamilton
Util: J. Morneau
Util: M. Cameron
BN: J. Guillen
BN: J. Hermida
BN: N. Schierholtz

SP: C. Hamels
SP: C. Billingsley
SP: R. Dempster
RP: C. Marmol
RP: M. Thornton
P: P. Hughes
P: R. Wolf
BN: J. Garland
BN: K. Lohse


Thanks for the help!

I would pass. I appreciate Upton's upside but with him it's like trying to catch a falling knife at the right moment. I know there are questions about Morneau right now but that is an MVP bat you are giving up. Given your current lineup, I would prefer to have the HR/RBI/OPS bump from Morneau than the extra speed from Upton.
