My Pujols and Cain for Longoria and Holliday? WHIR

Postby sigriffey » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:19 pm

I have to throw Pujols back into the draft. I am in 1st place, but not by much at all and actually could be in second by week's end. Offense has been sporadic.

Do this deal?

Give: Pujols and Cain
Get: Longoria and Matt Holliday

I could keep Longoria through next season. Holliday goes back into the draft. Cain can be kept through next season.


12 Team H2H League with 6 keepers (a * means the 3-year keeper contract expires after this year)

9 x 9 categories (R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG -- IP, CG, W, L, ER, ERA, K, SV, WHIP

MY TEAM (after this trade is processed):

C Brian McCann*
1B Albert Pujols*
2B Chase Utley*
3B Alex Rodriguez*
SS Derek Jeter
OF Carl Crawford
OF Curtis Granderson
OF Andrew McCutchen
UT James Loney
UT Raul Ibanez
UT Ryan Ludwick
BN Alberto Callaspo
BN Mike Stanton
BN Pedro Alvarez
BN Ian Stewart
DL Jacoby Ellsbury

SP Roy Halladay*
SP CC Sabathia*

I don't think you are getting enough in return to be honest. It is an ok deal, but I would hold off until it gets closer to the deadline and see where you stand then.

i like the deal, i'd feel more comfortable if you could include a lesser pitcher, but I still like the deal. you're losing pujols and arod next year. Longoria can be kept. you've got a strong staff, especially when volquez and anderson come back. i think pujols will have a big 2nd half, but i also believe Longroia keeps putting up top notch numbers and Holliday always has a big second half.

i like it


please help

I'd do the deal to get longoria for next year, but you have to trade for a 1b after this deal. loney won't cut it.
