Deal Braun for this...? whir

Postby kmoneybags » Fri May 14, 2010 9:09 pm

12 teams. standard 5X5 roto. 6 keepers.

I would give Braun
I would get CarGo, Uggla, and King Felix

my roster
c- I-Rod
1b- M-Cab
2b- Prado
3b- Callaspo
ss- Hanley
of- Braun, Justin Upton (franchise player), Rios
util- Bruce/BJ Upton (depends on the day)

sp- Jimenez, Nolasco, Kershaw, Liriano, Danks, Chacin
rp- Mariano, F. Cordero, Gregg, Marmol


Do I dare give up Braun for this? I could have a nucleus of Hanley, Braun, M-Cab, and J-Up for years to come, but does this trade make me better for this season?

I think it is tempting but I don't have enough faith in CarGo or Uggla to give you the advice to take this deal. I do think it might help your team this year but overall I wouldn't do it. I think you need to get at least another first rounder or a couple second rounders for Braun.

please help my Braun trade question

I agree that you should pass. It doesn't help you enough this year to warrant breaking up that nucleus in a keeper league.

Nah, Brauns a first rounder and will be for years, hernandez is solid but not worth it, and uggla's untrustworthy and streaky. its not worth the risk. Hold Braun and smile as you rake.

I will echo the others. I am not a big Uggle fan, but this deal is close. CarGo is a stud and definitely living up to his potential. And Felix will make a nice 1-2 with Ubaldo.

Is there something else he is willing to substitute for Uggla.

The only other options on his team are Phil Hughes, Miguel Montero, and Heath Bell. Billy Butler is also there but I don't think he'd include him.

Thanks for all the help so far and I'll respond to everybody's posts today.
