Trade Beltran/Panda for JUp/Hosmer?

[Dren_man]

12 team,H2H,6x6, 1 more keeper year.
Trade proposal:
My Beltran, MCarthy and either Panda or J.Lowrie
for his JUp, Hosmer and Garza???
Your opinions, Thanks.

I really am not sure how to handle this 1 more keeper year. If this is a keeper league, going forward I would want Upton over Beltran. But definately not this year (and maybe not next year?). Also, I would rather keep Panda over Lowrie. (better average and more power).
I am not high on Hosmer short term - would rather have Panda or Lowrie. Upton is too talented to remain in this slump, but how long before he comes out of it. And Beltran seems to be reborn in St Louis.
Tough call.

Beltran on his last legs but has value still. Panda is solid as ever. Can u clarify last year to keep. U talkin about panda? Or Upton? I'd rather have Upton/hosmer over panda/beltran IF u have another solid 3b (does Lawrie qualify?sweet)

JUp, Hosmer and Garza side wins by a mile. If you are receiving that in this trade you accept that so fast and hope it passes voting.

That's Jed Lowrie NOT Brett.
At WORST Beltran = JUp (for this year) JUp>>>>Beltran in a keeper
Pitchers being exchanged are a toss up in value.
Hosmer I'd take him over Jed Lowrie a MI who had one decent half who is at best an average fantasy MI.

YOU TAKE THAT TRADE J HEY@!

Not sure I'd do it for Panda as the third player, but if it's Lowrie, I'd think I'd do it pretty quickly.

I'm taking the Upton/Hosmer side. Beltran was great most of last season, but he's knees couldn't hold up and he was forced to play at less than 100% for much of the 2nd half. Now he's a year older and you can bet on St. Louis resting him A LOT more this season to keep him healthy. While he should still be productive, he has nowhere near the potential of Justin Upton.
