Postby sigriffey » Fri Apr 30, 2010 1:08 pm

Do I trade Liriano and Jaime Garcia for Andrew McCutchen? all are keeper eligible thru 2012.

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 TEAM (if a recent trade goes through):

C Brian McCann*
1B Albert Pujols*
2B Chase Utley*
3B Alex Rodriguez*
SS Jason Bartlett
OF Carl Crawford
OF Grady Sizemore
OF Magglio Ordonez
UT Alberto Callaspo
UT Jason Kubel

The trade at face value is pretty even. Liriano and Garcia have been pitching very well, but will come back to earth. McCutchen has been running early and often. I think it would depend on what pitching you could snag from the wire, but I would probably do it.

I would do this. I honestly don't know what to think about Liriano as he has been up and down for way to long. Garcia looks pretty solid but he is a rookie and the odds of him keeping this going is unlikely. McCutchen is really good and should only continue to get better.

Your pitching is deep enough that I would do it. I kind of like the upside of Garcia though and would be tempted to give him Lilly instead.
League Setup:
13 Team Points League
6 Hitters 3 Pitchers (Positions don't matter)
1B = 1, 2B = 2, 3B = 3, HR = 4, RBI = 1
Win = 12, Save = 5

I think I like trade. McCutchen looks like a stud, he would probably make your 6-keeper cut. (Crawford, Sizemore, McCutchen, Greinke, Ubaldo, and maybe Soria). Not a bad keeper set.
