Was this deal worth it?

Postby sadlyajetsfan » Mon May 03, 2010 1:43 pm

My I went back and forth trying to get a deal going. Traded my Longoria, Garza, Slowey, Aardsma for his Zimmerman, Gallardo, Kershaw, Lindstrom.

I think I gave up a lot, but got a lot of pitching. This is H2H so I figure the closer to be a non situation in this. Zimmerman and Longoria I have at near identical value. Gallardo and Kershaw I have way above Garza and Slowey

i wouldn't put longoria/ zimmerman at identical value at all...

for 1 a better lineup around longoria (more RBI/run)... but i don't hate on zimmerman, he is very good... but you did get a lot more pitching (IMO) ... but i did like Garza, and not a big fan of Kershaw.. but all in all it was a fair trade IMO


please help? viewtopic.php?t=410404

I have to be honest, I don't understand these challenge trades...trading same players at the same position is nothing more than a coin flip trade. If you were in a big need for sp, then I guess I don't have a problem with it. However, I dont' think Kershaw and Gallardo are better than Garza.

Thanks for the help, helped both you guys in return. It's h2h so while I really like Garza, I'm a bit iffy about trusting him every week considering the teams he plays. What helped motivate me with this deal is that 90% of the money is going towards first place in the playoffs. I feel like this deal keeps my team pretty competitive and gives me a bit more reassurance come playoff time. Also if I didn't have AGonz I wouldn't do that deal, but I have a decent amount more in terms of power compared to the rest of the league. With Longo's SB ability I have Reyes, Pierre and a few 20+ guys so I wasn't concerned with that. Does my logic make sense or was this a bad deal still? I'm a bit on the fence with it, but think it helped my pitching a ton.

that deal was vetoed, but he keeps sending me trades. I thought he wanted to improve on pitching, but it looks like he wants Longoria instead. He has MCab, Howard, Zimmerman, Gallardo, KRod, B.Anderson, Ethier who I'm interested in. I was thinking
1. Longoria, Morneau/A.Gonzalez, Slowey for Zimmerman MCab/Howard, Gallardo
2. Longoria, Wagner/Gregg for Zimmerman, Gallardo, KRod
3. Longoria, Slowey/Pelfrey for Zimmerman, Gallardo, B.Anderson
4. Longoria, CarGo for Zimmerman, Ethier
Can also do Longoria along for some of them. Like any of these?

OK, I would not have made that deal, giving up Longoria is too much, even though I like Zimmerman.

However, that deal was vetoed? Get out of that league now. It is full of people who will veto a deal unless they won't lose by the other teams improving themselves.

Seriously, who got the edge in that deal by so much that it makes it vetoable.

lol yea I know. They thought I was getting ripped off. Looking at it, it's probably not the best deal for me to make, but wouldn't kill me. Do you like any of those other deals?

I think you are severely undervaluing Longoria. I love Zimmerman but Longo is a clear tier above. I think you should look to get one of his big 1B bats. If you really like Zim that much then you should look to make this deal in your favor.

Longoria/Slowey/AGon for Zimmerman/Howard/Gallardo or something like that. If he doesn't go for that then try swapping Gallardo with Kershaw.
