Should I do this trade with Pujols for other upgrades? WHIR

Postby Vobs56 » Wed Apr 21, 2010 12:36 pm

I am currently in 12th place (last) and I have been getting annihilated in all of the pitching categories. Therefore, since my hitting has been pretty good, I was thinking about parting ways with Pujols to get upgrades elsewhere.
One trade I am thinking about proposing is my Albert Pujols, my Jeff Francoeur, my Matt Thorton, my Chad Billingsley, and my Carlos Zambrano for his Adrian Gonzalez, his Andre Ethier, his Carlos Marmol, his Matt Garza, and his Octavio Dotel. Does this sound like a good trade for me?

What trade would you propose to this guy if you intend upon trading Pujols to him for pitching?
This is his roster:
C-Bengie Molina
1B-Adrian Gonzalez
2B-Rickie Weeks
3B-Aramis Ramirez
SS-Hanley Ramirez
OF-Andre Ethier, Ichiro Suzuki, Scott Podsednik, Carlos Lee, Josh Hamilton, and Hunter Pence
Util-Justin Morneau
SP-John Lackey, Roy Oswalt, Matt Garza, Hiroki Kuroda, Zach Duke, Wade Davis, Max Scherzer, and Kenshin Kawakami
RP-Carlos Marmol, Octavio Dotel, and Mike Gonzalez

My team is below...What trade would you make with Pujols? I will also help you in return!
12 team, H2H, 6x6

Team:
C-Doumit
1B-Pujols
2B-Wigginton
3B-Polanco
SS-Reyes
OF-Granderson, Willingham, Ad. Jones
Util-Butler
BN-Kendrick, Furcal, Stanton

SP-Greinke, Kershaw
RP-Rivera, Gregg
P-Hughes, Clippard, Thornton, Dempster
BN-Billingsley, Leake

If your goal is better pitching I think you should aim higher.....You should be able to get a top 5 pitcher plus a decent 1B for Pujols

Aim for Halladay, Lincecum, Felix, Greinke, or CC, Ad Gonzales, Kendry Morales, Youkilis, Sandoval

What's your team? Do you have another 1B?

help with mine?

Agree with above. You could land a Top 5 pitcher and Morneau, in my book. Gonzalez and a top 5 pitcher is also possible. Your offer is not good for you. You are giving up WAY too much for what you are getting back.

Judging by your roster, I wouldn't be trading Pujols. You have Greinke and Kershaw and this is a 12 team H2H you don't need much more elite pitching to compete. Try to make a smaller trade.

If you are still hung up Pujols you should definitely be getting back at least an elite SP like Halladay + a positional player. But like I said I wouldn't be doing that if I were you.

What about this trade? My Albert Pujols, my Jeff Francoeur, my Chad Billingsley, and my Carlos Zambrano for his Pablo Sandoval, his Magglio Ordonez, his Roy Halladay, and his Joel Pineiro? Would this be a good trade?
