Hey all I'm in a 12 team 5x5 roto yahoo league currently sitting in 4th. What do you think of this trade given my current roster:
Trade: Give: CC Sabathia, Alfonso Soriano, Ben Zobrist Get: Randy Wolf, Carlos Gonzales, Ian Kinsler
C: Brian Mcann 1B: Miguel Cabrera 2B: Ben Zobrist SS: Alexei Ramirez OF: Jeff Francoeur OF: Alfonso Soriano OF: Jose Tabata Util: Bobby Abreu Util: Mark Reynolds BN: Gordon Beckham BN: Logan Morrison (DL) DL: Josh Hamilton
SP: Cliff Lee SP: CC Sabathia RP: Huston Street RP: Brian Wilson P: Aroldis Chapman P: Brandon Morrow P: Max Scherzer BN: Clay Buchholz BN: Francisco Liriano BN: Colby Lewis
breaking it down into 3 separate trades Kinsler = Zobrist (both are frustrating to own) Cargo > Soriano CC < Wolf
Looking at it that way you need to decide this ...is cargos production going to be that much greater than soriano to justify giving up your 2nd best SP
My opinion: make the deal Cargos .300 plus avg and five cat ability is the clincher Wolf will be just fine to own in the NL plus if it comes down to it a 12 team league is shallow enough you can stream and pick your matchups. You can't do that with oufielders and Cargo is a stud hitter...much more valuable than a stud pitcher IMO
