[lastingsgriller]

big trade here.. who gets the better side..

(note: it's a keeper league and all teams keep 4 players.)

Jason Heyward + Ben Sheets

for

Ubaldo Jiminez + Carlos Quentin

While I like Heyward a lot, I see Ubaldo as being more dominant in the future relative to his position. In addition, Sheets isn't nearly as valuable now and in the future as quentin. I believe that is clear haha?

what if the deal was just Heyward for Ubaldo, straight up??

Well at that point I think it depends on who the rest of your keepers are. Heyward is only 20 and is showing that he can be an elite outfielder. But like I said before, there are more elite status outfielders than there are elite status pitchers...so that questions requires some more information i think about the rest of your team and your league.

well...

we keep 4 players..

I would be on the getting Heyward side.

currently my keeper-worthy players are:

hitters
Carlos Santana
Prince Fielder*
Brandon Phillips
Jose Reyes*
Evan Longoria*

(outfield/util has no keeper-worthy players - Manny, Markakis, Soriano, Gardner, Quentin, Big Papi)

Pitchers
Ubaldo
Strasburg*

If season ended today I would keep *-players..

so.. should I do it? Ubaldo for Heymaker???

Well if you do this trade then you keep Heyward over reyes? Either way, you already have strasberg so I think that gives you the flexibility to do the trade if you want. I'm not sure what type of league it is, in the sense of the way teams compete and what categories matter. I know in my league, its more important to dominate hitting than it is to dominate pitching because on a week to week basis you can still win some of the pitching categories with average performances (i.e. era, wins, losses). You should also keep in mind heyward is now on the dl, but you probably knew that already. I don't really have a flat out answer for you, but consider the things I said and see which way it makes you lean.
