Billingsley/Gregg for Ricky Nolasco

Postby Kimbos Beard » Tue Apr 20, 2010 10:29 am

I am thinking of proposing this trade to another owner who is desperate for saves. I would be getting Nolasco.

I don't really like to give up on Billinglsey already but I feel Nolasco is an upgrade anyway. But I get heartburn and indigestion when Billinsley pitches.

Thoughts and 100% WHIR.

Yeah, I would do that for sure. Nolasco is a beast and you're really not giving up much with Gregg.

Billingsley has a world of potential but is just too volitile and murders you with his WHIP.

Gregg has pitched exceptionally well but will probably not be as successful against the heart of the AL East.

I am a Nolasco owner and expected more out of him after his Spring, but still think he has more potential than Billingsley + Gregg.

I would do it.

Go for it. Gregg isn't worth too much, and Nolasco is going to be great this year. Bills is no slouch, but I personally love the lower WHIP and everything from Ricky.

I like it. Nolasco is a slight upgrade over Billingsley, but Gregg isn't guaranteed to keep that closer label all season long... we're all waiting for the real Gregg to rear his ugly head. Do it.

I would do this deal. Nolasco struggling his first 2 outings but bounce back nicely against the Phillies. You are getting the best player in the deal and your not giving too much.

Please help

Ya if I were to do it I would deal Gregg. I like Billingsley and he should turn it around soon

Perhaps your trade idea gets a little more interesting with Billingsley's awful start vs. the Reds, April 20.
