Werth/Buchholz for CC/Freese? WHIR

Postby thejusman1 » Fri May 07, 2010 5:06 pm

My early round SP picks I expected to take a leap forward (Kershaw, Nolasco, Billingsley) haven't exactly panned out so far, but my hitting has been excellent, in large part due to Werth. However, I feel like this trade would shore up my pitching, gives me a capable OF4 in Fragu until Quentin heats up, and my offense won't miss a beat once Fielder/Zobrist wake up. Thoughts?

*EDIT* Kept going back and forth, but I think he'd settle on Werth/Buch for CC/Freese (basically his drop). What do you think of that?

I also think I would do the deal. Your offense will be fine.

another yes. i like werth, but quentin will give you some pop & davis the speed, so assuming you play 'em right you'll be fine in your OF> and CC is a nice upgrade.

Yeah sounds like a good trade. Werth is good right now but he has a really high BABIP on his fly balls that he hits constantly. He won't keep this up.

Would you guys still do this trade if it were Werth/Buchholz for CC/Freese? I don't really need Freese, it's essentially the same trade as before, I think. Of course I'm banking on continued production from Hamilton/Rasmus here, which I don't think is too unreasonable, but I'd be more dependent on Davis/Quentin rising up to the occasion.

I think Werth is good, but he's currently playing out of his mind. I would expect him to regress a little bit over the rest of the season. CC will make your team better.
