Trade thoughts??

[kevinkallberg]

12 team H2H league

Trade 1 (not my trade)
Billy Hamilton, 3rd and 4th round picks
for
Adam Jones


Trade 2 (was proposed to me by the team getting Adam Jones in trade 1)
I trade Pablo Sandoval
for
2nd round pick


Is trade 1 veto worthy?
I personally think it's insane to trade a top 15 outfielder (keeper ranks) for an unkowning prospect that is only useful for SB's.

Dont see any reason to veto, its definately not colusion.

Maybe I'm just undervaluing Billy Hamilton then?

Is Hamilton supposed to be a top outfielder? I know he has wheels and will steal a lot of bases, but is he supposed to develop some power to?

[kevinkallberg]

forgot to mention, each of the 12 teams in the league keeps 8 players.

[Nats 2013]

high average, lot of runs in that offense, he is a middle infielder but to prevent early wear and tear they will probably start him in the OF. And the 2 picks in the early rounds after keepers is nothing to sneeze at either

Vetoing ranges from league to league, so I can't tell you if it will get vetoed in your league. Its a pretty lopsided trade. Theres a good chance that Hamilton will spend very little time in the majors this year. Adam Jones is an OF stud.

Since you keep 8 players the 3rd and 4th round draft picks are essentially 11th and 12th round players in a 12 team league, which doesn't carry a tremendous amount of value.

If you are getting Adam Jones, you are getting a steal (No Billy Hamilton Pun intended)

Trade 1 is a horribly lop sided trade. I don't know about Veto worry, but in my league it would definitely piss off some owners.

Trade 2 also not great. Keep the Panda or shop for something better then that pick.
