KEEPER: Scherzer for Granderson?

Postby rich101682 » Mon Mar 04, 2013 12:26 pm

20 team league, OBP instead of AVG. Who wins a trade of Scherzer for Granderson?

You can't declare a winner until the end of the season but I would want Granderson because I prefer hitting.

I'll take Granderson there in a keeper pretty easily. ;-D

Granderson is hurt for +- two months. Though with OBP instead of average Granderson's value goes up a bit. Well, Scherzer is good but if you need the bat why not. ;-D

Knowing your lineup/context of the trade would help. If you're OK on power, I'd consider Scherzer (Granderson's OBP isn't quite as bad as his avg but it's still pretty bad-- .319 in 2012)). What you'd lose on power you'd get a little back on in OBP. If your pitching is a little weak, even more reason to make the deal.

If your pitching is stacked or if your power numbers look shaky w/o Grander, then hold on to him, though not having any production for 1-2 months in a 20-team league has to be considered as well.

Good luck.

With the injury I think you have to play it safe and go with Max.

It would help to know your line up, but the reality is I have a hard time thinking I could ever say go with Scherzer. Granderson has way more value, especially in such a deep league.

Help with mine? http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/04/17179754-batman-drops-off-suspect-at-police-station-vanishes-into-night?lite
