Did this trade hurt or help me?

Postby sadlyajetsfan » Fri Apr 16, 2010 9:37 pm

My Carpenter/Cuddyer for his Adrian Gonzalez. Team is in the sig (trade is still pending so that is still my team for a few days). I sent out this trade didn't expecting it to be accepted. I'm regretting it a bit, but what do you guys think? Carpenter was someone I was trying to ship just because I can't afford to have him go down, figured I'd get something for him to play it safe. Cuddyer has been playing well so I wanted to get rid of him asap.

Sorry I changed the title. It was my Carpenter/Cuddyer for his Adrian Gonzalez

It's not a bad deal, but you did take a hit in pitching. So essentially you improved your offense at the expense of your pitching, although you might have enough pitching to be fine.

I like the trade. Between Slowey and Liriano you still have a decent pitcher to replace Carpenter.

Thanks for the help. I think it could come back to bite me since my ERA hasn't been great, but I made sure to grab a decent amount of mid round pitchers since I didn't grab a stud. Hopefully this helps me RBIs which I've been losing as well.

Not a bad deal. And when A-Gon gets traded you will be happy.

Thanks for the help. I'm not sure how much I like this trade. Nolasco is pretty studly, but I'm not sure he is a capable #1 starter on any fantasy team. AGon will beast for you but the loss in pitching hurts.

I agree. Made the trade and really didn't think about that lol. I like my pitching as a whole, but for consistency purposes it would be nice to have an ace on the team. It's not like I gave up Halladay though, I did have Carpenter ranked on the lower part of the tier for "aces" so it's not a huge loss. I guess I have pretty awesome hitting to look forward to, especially once Reyes and Pierre start getting some SBs
