First he offered Frank Francisco for Madison Bumgarner. I countered with Lance Lynn for Aroldis Chapman. His current offer is Chapman for Jordan Zimmerman. Baseball monster has Chapman currently ranked 15th in our league format and Zimmerman 64th.
But I just can't wrap my head around the idea of Chapman being more valuable. I know Chapman could be a Starter someday. But being realistic there's gotta be some regression due on his current stats, right?

So I guess my question is would you do Zimmerman for Chapman Straight up in a dynasty league, or would you ask for some additional Starting Pitching in return

Quite honestly, I foresee J-Zimm's long-term (not to mention current) value as being greater than Chap's. I wouldn't do it unless the Chap side is throwing in a pretty tantalizing sweetener.

Keep Zimm. Sure Chapman can be a top notch setup man but who knows if he ever translates that success into a solid SP if he gets the chance. Stay with the known commodity.
