VERY Tempting Upton Offer -- Take It? WHIR

Postby sigriffey » Wed Apr 21, 2010 8:41 pm

I give: Chase Utley, Grady Sizemore and Zack Greinke ---- note that Utley goes back into the draft after this year, Sizemore after 2012, Greinke after 2011.
I get: Justin Upton, Brandon Phillips and Clayton Kershaw --- note that all three can be kept thru 2011.


12 Team H2H League with 6 keepers (a * means the 3-year keeper contract expires after this year -- most of the studs expire in our league after this season)

9 x 9 categories (R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG -- IP, CG, W, L, ER, ERA, K, SV, WHIP)

MY NEW TEAM:

1B Albert Pujols*
2B Chase Utley*
3B Alex Rodriguez*
SS Jason Bartlett
OF Adam Lind
OF Grady Sizemore
OF Magglio Ordonez
UT Rajai Davis

Thats a tough one. I would say the guys you have give you a clear advantage this season, but if you make the deal you would be in much better shape for the next 2 years.

Looking at your team, I think you can afford to make this deal now. The SP downgrade shouldn't matter since your staff is great.

I wouldn't do the deal if you're in it to win this season and by the looks of your lineup it looks like you are.

Id sit tight.
