Try to get Braun in a trade? WHIR!!

Postby woowoo crew » Sat Jul 17, 2010 9:44 pm

12 team H2H league... we get 3 keepers. I'm interested in trading for Braun, since he hasn't been the heavy hitter he usually is, hoping he will turn it around. Tell me if this is a good deal:

My Ethier and Napoli for Braun. (the guy who has Braun needs a catcher) **I would like to open a roster spot to pick up another RP.

My team:
C: Posey
1B: Miggy
2B: Zobrist
3B: Prado
SS: E. Aybar
2B/SS: Callaspo
1B/3B: Morneau
OF: Ethier, Cruz, Adam Jones, DeJesus
UTIL: Boesch
Bench: Wigginton, Ellsbury, Napoli
SP: Verlander, Billingsley, Oswalt, Romero, Marcum, DeLa Rosa, Richard, Cueto
RP: Bell, Feliz
C: McCann
1B: Konerko
2B: Cano
SS: Reyes
3B: Freese
IF: Encarnacion
OF: Ethier, Jennings, Willingham, Quentin
UTIL: Freeman
BN: De Aza, Pagan, Aviles
DL: Ellsbury
P: Felix, Price, Buchholz, Lynne, J. Johnson, Wandy, Valverde, Jansen, Chapman, Betancourt

It's a good starting point, but not sure the other owner would go for it. With Braun being a pre-season top-10 fantasy player he'd probably want Posey rather than Napoli even with Eithier's #'s being very similar to Braun's. I'd give it a shot though and see what he says.

I, too, doubt that it will be enough, but if he wants a catcher badly enough he might go for it. Otherwise, I think he'll want more in return for Braun since he's probably a top 7 keeper for sure.

If you want Braun, it will take Posey and Eithier. Might not be enough with those two.

thanks for the help with mine. if you can get Braun for what you suggest, I would go for it. I wouldnt give up Posey though as some suggest instead of Napoli.

If he pulls thr trigger, no brainer. But like everyone else here, I don't think he will. I don't think Ethier and Posey is a great deal. Don't do it.

please help with mine

thanks for the help on mine - as stated above he'll probably want more for Braun, but the worst he can say is no.
