Heyward trade....100% WHIR!!!

Postby jdip5 » Sun Jul 11, 2010 5:28 pm

Was offered Hughes, bumgardener, and Simon for my Heyward. I like this because it helps me add deph which I could use, but is this enough value. Choo is still on the DL, but i feel Fowler and quentin are sufficient replacements for them for now. Is this a good deal for me, and if not, what deal should i shoot for. He already declined nieman n hughes for heyward, but countered with lind n hughes for heyward or jurrjens and hughes for heyward.

I don't like this deal. Bumgarner, with his mediocre fastball and secondary stuff, isn't likely to provide much value this year. For a while he seemed like an Ace in the making, but he's begun to reveal his true #3 upside in the past year and a half and I think people still remember the old days... Simon is just decent, he's not even a lock to keep the job for the rest of the year. Finally, Hughes, has been solid, but the Yankees might still be in the market for another starter, which might bump him to the 'pen. It's not likely at this point, but it's something to consider.

In all, I'd definitely pass as Heyward has tremendous upside. He could very well be a top 10 OF from here on out. Also, you didn't say, but if this is a keeper league, I'd also stay away... it doesn't make sense to deal away the best player in a deal, especially a potential cornerstone such as Heyward.

Thanks for the help with mine.

I agree with the above. I don't like this deal in a redraft league, I really don't like it in a keeper league. When looking at a 3-for-1, always look at the 3-for-3 of it, as to who you would release.

Thanks for the help on mine.

Lose Simon in the deal for certain. I do like Bumgarnter in second half, but no need to overpay.

I would target Niemann or Pettitte along with Hughes. And I do pull the trigger.

Help me out? Return the favour?
