Am I crazy??? My Pujols for Utley and Votto

Postby achan27 » Thu Apr 01, 2010 12:09 am

Am I crazy for thinking about doing a trade like this? It is a CBS Points league. I think Votto will have a great year possibly jumping to the top tier of 1st baseman and Utley is, well Utley. Or should I stand pat and try to pick up a 2009 Zobrist? Thanks for any help.

now, I think Kendrick will be fine, but I think that if you are going to trade Pujols, it would have to be a deal like this. You net a top 5 player, and get a potent bat to fill in for Pujols. I think I'd do it.

help w/ mine?

I think that is very good value for Albert. You are getting a top 5 pick plus a early 3rd round pick (depending on how deep this league is.)

It would make your infield monstrous with Votto, Utley, Zimm and Tulo.

I would do it.

If this is a non-keeper league, I'm probably doing this.

That's a pretty compelling return for Pujols and I'd take it.

I think I do. It's close and fair value, but I don't see how you turn it down.

I never do points league but if I am dealing Pujols I expect to get a 1st rounder and 2nd rounder back and that is exactly what this is.

Id say do it

I would take that trade in a heartbeat, Votto and Utley are both top-tier players. Sure you trade the best, but you are well rewarded.
