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.
C- Doumit 1B - Fielder 2B - Phillips 3B - Wright SS - Alexei Ramirez OF - Bay, Markakis, Car-Go Util - Pablo Bench - Nyjer Morgan, Beltran
SP - Wainwright, Cain, Billingsley, Harden, gavin Floyd, Chris Young RP - Capps, rauch, Aardsma, Gregg
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.
