Two trade offers WHIR!

Postby sman » Wed Aug 11, 2010 6:58 am

I am in a head to head ten team keeper league on Yahoo! which uses these stats R, H, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP, W, CG, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB.

My Roster:

C Miguel Montero
1B Billy Butler
2B Asdrubal Cabrera
3B Mark Reynolds
SS Rafael Furcal
OF Luke Scott
OF Carlos Gonzalez
OF Ichiro Suzuki
Util Adam Jones
BN Colby Rasmus
BN Nick Swisher
DL Shane Victorino
DL Ian Kinsler

SP Zack Greinke
SP Johan Santana
RP Brian Wilson
RP Rafael Soriano
P Jon Lester
P Jonathan Sanchez
P Billy Wagner
BN Jaime Garcia
BN Kevin Slowey
BN Anibal Sanchez

In my league, I have just been offered Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, and Jimmy Rollins for Carlos Gonzalez and Jon Lester. Should I accept this deal immediately without hesitation?

Otherwise, I have another offer on the table that would be willing to give me my choice of Sin Soo Choo or Andrew McCutchen plus Chad Billingsley and Francisco Liriano for Jon Lester and Rafael Soriano.

I think the first deal would obviously be better but I may as well throw that one out there as well as long as I'm posting this.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Leave a link and I'll get back to you when I can.

I don't like either of those deal for you from a keeper perspective. CarGo and Lester are gonna be great keepers for years to come, while Arod has only another year or two of top production left in him. Rollins is trash.

In deal #2, Choo/Bills/Liriano for Lester/Soriano isn't bad, I'd lean towards that one instead of the first one.

Here's mine, please help! viewtopic.php?t=418182

I would stay put...I would not do either trade, especially not in a keeper.

I don't think you do either deal. If he'd take Ichiro instead of Gonzalez in the first deal (a long shot to be sure), that'd be worth doing.

I wouldn't do either trade. I'd stand pat. As said before me...in a keeper league Cargo and Lester have more upside than what you'd be receiving.
