Looks good on paper, but say no?

Postby rails80 » Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:55 pm

Trade offered:

I send: Casey McGehee, Scott Podsednik
I receive: Grady Sizemore, Howie Kendrick

Seems like the definition of sell-high, buy low - but I'm enamored with McGehee this year. It's a H2H league - R, HR, RBI, AVG, OPS, SB

McGehee is good but is hot right now. I think you have to make this deal as Sizemore is too good not to turn it around and Pods is playing over his head so far. Kendrick is always solid if he can stay healthy. I would do it.

please help and read the last post of my thread before answering...thanks

id do it.
i think McGehee is overrated. he was never much of a prospect in the minors.
one of the concerns ive wondered about McGehee this season is what effect will Mat Gamel have as the season goes on? Gamel on the DL right now. Gamel is not as good defensively, but has real high offensive potential.
it wasnt that long ago Grady Sizemore was seen as a 1st round pick. id probually take Sizemore himself for McGehee and Podsednik. im also not that high on Podsednik. he too i think is overrated, while Kendrick has more upside. question is can Kendrick stay healthy, but if he does i would put him down for better numbers than McGehee.


help?

I would definitely do it. McGeehee is hot right now but I don't see him maintaining his pace the whole year. Pods for SURE will slow down.

Sizemore is too good to turn down, and Kendrick is solid (I have him on my team ;-) )
