Big Trade WHIR

Postby eviljoshing » Sun May 02, 2010 11:14 pm

14 team Roto

Would you trade a-rod, lidge and jurrgens for dan haren, nelson cruz and soria? I feel like it's a no brainer but Cruz's injury is a bit worrisome. Thoughts?

I see it like this:

Soria >> Lidge
Haren >> Jurrjens
Cruz < ARod

Cruz has the potential and youth to match ARod's studly status, but his injury gives me some cause for concern. If you have a backup 3B and power to hold off without Cruz for the time being, I think you pull the trigger.

It's worth it. Cruz looked amazing and always has minor injuries. This shouldn't be too big of an issue for him, still a top OF. You're making huge upgrades at SP and RP. Haren will really add a ton to your team compared to Jurr. Do you have a serviceable 3B? That would be my only concern.

I would do that in a heartbeat. ARod and Cruz are a wash and Haren/Soria > Jurrjens/Lidge.
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 already have a great 3B in Reynolds. I actually could use the help at OF and was interested to see what people were reading into Cruz's recent hammy issues.

Cruz's injury seems like a quick thing...plus the upside of the other 2 is too great not to do this deal

He was supposed going to start taking BP on Saturday so hopefully he will be back on schedule.

Well if you have Mark Reynolds then what are you waiting for! Definitely do this trade.


Thanks for the help on mine.
