I have an owner in my league that has offered me Josh Johnson, Carlos Gonzalez and Ben Zobrist in exchange for Jake Peavy, Jay Bruce and Ian Kinsler.
Question: DO I ACCEPT THIS TRADE?
Kinsler is obviously on my DL, and I have Gordon Beckham playing 2B and I picked up Casey McGehee to play 3B. Beckham looks like he will only be 2B eligible after this year and I am leaning toward keeping him long term because I believe he is the real deal and he is younger than Kinsler.
My inital gut says that I am receiving an upgrade with Johnson from Peavy. Last year Johnson put up 487.5 points for the year and Peavy put up 252.2. CBS has Johnson projected to put up 491 this year and Peavy 465.5.
When you look at Kinsler and Zobrist, Kinsler put up 479 points last year and Zobrist put up 459. This year CBS is projecting Kinsler to put up 478 and Zobrist 455. The other thing that Zobrist has going for him is the fact that he is both 2B and OF eligible.
Finally when it comes down to Jay Bruce and Carlos Gonzalez, Bruce put up 234 points and CARGO put up 203.5. This year CBS projects Bruce to put up 339 and CARGO 289.
I have included my roster and scoring system below.
I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
