Upton for Price and others

[warner892001]

Got a team that me and my friend inherited.
The Roster is :

Napoli
Dunn
Zobrist
Reynolds
Peralta
Upton
Cuddyer
Bonifacio
Ortiz
Crisp
Maybin
Cespedes
Belt

Buehrle
Earvin Santana
Nolasco
Jurrjens
Bedard
Madson
Dave Robertson
Thornton
Clippard
Bauer
Cole
Pomeranz
Nicasion
Shelby Miller

Anyhow- the trade offer

Zobrist, Upton, Bonifacio for Wieters, LoMo, Lorenzo Cain and David Price

I personally like the deal because we get a stud pitcher back. We were looking to move Napoli so Wieters can fill in there.

Your thoughts?

[MaudDib]

Which Upton? And what kind of league with how many teams? If it is Justin, then probably no. If it is BJ then heck yes. I am assuming Justin at which point I don't think you are getting enough in return.

[warner892001]

Yes BJ Upton

Keeper League- keep all the players every year

10 teams

I'd do it for sure. Price and Wieters still have some upside considering their age. Morrison and Cain on top of that make it an easy choice.

Price > BJ Upton
Wieters = Zobrist
Lomo + Cain > Bonifacio

[CadensDad]

I'd jump all over that

[kidsilk]

Definitely do that deal. It's definitely in your favor.

what about substituting Ethier for Cain?

what about substituting Ethier for Cain?

Even better. I like Ethier more than Cain.

Ethier is a much better option than Cain- he's undervalued this year, IMO, because of his injury last year.

Cain's basically replacement-level in a 10-team league for 2012, and I don't think he's got enough of a pedigree to justify stashing for the future. Remember, this guy is turning 26 in April and he hasn't had anything approaching a full season in the majors yet. I'd much rather go for a high-upside option at that spot.
