Trade help 1B/OF swap...WHIR

[go9ers]

This is a 10 team h2h points league (4pts for homer, 3 for triple, 2 for double, 1 for single, r, rbi, bb and no deduction for avg or k's) (10pts for W, -5 for L, 7pt for save, 1 pt per strikeout and IP, -1 per ER). I was thinking of this trade:

I give Morneau/Bay for his Holliday/A.Gonzalez

If no go for that trade, should I try Morneau for Holliday straight up? This would leave me pretty thin at IF position is the only thing I'm concerned about.

My team:
C: RMartin
1B: Fielder
2B: Polanco
3B: Reynolds
SS: A.Cabrera
IF: Morneau
OF: Bay, MKemp, Choo
UT: Laroche
Bench: Hawpe, Roberts (IR)

SP (4 starters per week): Hamels, Wainwright, Baker, Nolasco
RP: (2 per week): Bell, Valverde
Bench: Garcia, BWilson, Porcello, Blanton, Lilly, Danks, Latos

His team:
C: McCann
1B: A.Gonzalez
2B: Utley
3B: Beltre
SS:Uribe
IF: Freese
OF: Suzuki, Holliday, Bryd
UT: Damon
Bench: Cantu, Granderson, Rollins, Aybar, Gutierrez

SP: Lincecum, Harden, Shields, Lackey
RP: Broxton, Rivera
Bench: Duchscherer, Hochevar, Willis

I think you're doing well here. Morneau typically starts off hot and cools off significantly (i.e., tanks it) in the second half. I'd rather have Gonzo from here on out (if Gonzo is traded to a more hitter friendly park that's just added bonus).

Also I was down on Bay to start the year but I didn't think he'd do this poorly. Say he turns it around and hits .280, 20-25 HRs, and about 15 steals...pretty good numbers but it's still production that Holliday is likely to duplicate (or surpass) with less risk involved.

I think you're upgrading both positions from now on and I see no reason not to pull the trigger on this.

bump...should I try to make this move? Right now, both Morneau and Bay have scored more points than either of the other 2 in the trade.

I think you would be upgrading at both positions. It may not seem like it right now but by the end of the season you would have the better end of the deal, i say do it

I like it. I think youre buying Holiday at the right time. He is a slow starter ad a bit banged up (groin) but should get going as we get warmer. I like Morneau, but he is very injury prone. A-Gone is very solid and could get traded to a better team, like Boston or ChiSox and even still produce if he stays where he is. I do not like Bay this year. The new park, the Mets being a mess, his balky knees and HoJo as his hitting coach are all costing him value. I would sell him while his value is still there.
