Trade Advice

Standard yahoo league. 14 teams.

I give
Alfonso Soriano

I get
Derek Lee
+
Fransico Rodriquez

I have wicked hitting. Other OF are Sizemore, M.Ordonez and B.Giles

I already have Teixiera and Delgado at 1B so I'll have to trade one.
I only have one closer so I really need one more.

Its not a perfect trade. But too hard to pass up????

Thanks

Wow, sounds like you have a pretty good team bowls, espically batting wise!

While I agree with you that Soriano is better than Lee I also don't think you can pass this deal up.

You would be getting Fransico Rodriguez, who I think is the top closer in all of baseball

I think Lee will be back and playing healthy. Expect 30-40 homers. I would personally do the trade. Then just trade Delgado to a team for another outfielder maybe, as insurance.

What player do you plan on cutting if you accept the deal?

We just drafted so Gomes or Wigginton.

JoseA · 03-14-2007, 05:11 PM

Just curious

Who is your current closer now?

By the way I think Sizemore will be having a great season, I drafted him on a few of my fantasy teams

bowls · 03-14-2007, 05:22 PM

Torres and Weathers

haha

JoseA · 03-14-2007, 05:25 PM

Yeah, I definetly see your need for a closer....lol

So did you accept the trade?

You have a great team, considering its a 14 team league in my opinion

Who are your starting pitchers by the way?

bowls · 03-14-2007, 05:26 PM

I could also do this trade

I give:
Soriano, Tim Hudson, and Durham

I get:
Santana, R.Cano and N.Swisher

My Roster
C-Varitek
1B-Teixeria
2B-Durham
3B-Rolen
SS-Renteria
OF-Soriano
OF-Sizemore
OF-M.Ordonez
Ut-Delgado
B-Giles
B-Gomes
B-Wigginton

SP-Schmidt
Sp-Shilling
RP-Torres
Rp-Weathers
P-Harden
P-T.Hudson
P-C.Hensley
B-Jason Jennings
B-K.Wood (waiver request for F.Liriano pending)

JoseA · 03-14-2007, 05:38 PM

hmmmm....That trade wouldn't be that bad too
You would be acquiring the top starting pitcher in the game, in Santana.
You would also be upgrading Ray Durham, with Cano.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of Swisher, and I think Hudson will have a 15 win season, that is if he's healthy...

However, after looking at both trades, I think that I would do the first one. Your need for a closer is great, and F-Rod would be the man to have. But you may be able to add a solid closer off of free agency, that is if a team changes at the beginning of the season. Its obviously tougher to find a starting pitcher, espically of Santana's quality.

Its a tough call like you said, but I'm leaning towards the first one and you trade either Delgado/Teixeria

Oopp, ya waiver cancelled. Kerry Wood it is.

Emmanuel · 03-15-2007, 07:51 PM

I would do the second trade and I would try my luck with a young arm who may get an oppurtunity to close. Here are some options...

Talyor Tanksely (?) (Fla)
Fernando Rodney (Det)
Joel Zumuya (Det)
Jorge Julio whos is going to get traded
Takashi Saito (LAD)

and then there always a few closers who come out of nowhere to have a career year.

bowls · 03-16-2007, 04:26 PM

I was offered Chris Carpenter for Schilling and Harden.

I might take that deal. What do you think?

JoseA · 03-16-2007, 06:28 PM

I would maybe past up on that....I know Carpenter is a great pitcher, but I think Harden will be having a great season. I think Schilling will have a solid season too, but may get injured....

That is a very diffucult trade I think, maybe someone else has some advice!

I am in a agreement with this. Both Trades are nice offers but I would go with the first offer for you would be getting 2 top players for one in a deep league.

For Chris Carpenter you should deside that on if you think Schilling can stay heathty or not.

bowls · 03-22-2007, 08:35 PM

I managed to get this trade

I give: Soriano and Tim Hudson
I get : Santana and R.Cano

Shilling and Harden for Carpenter is still on the table.

I really need a my OF though. Giles would have to start for me. Not a huge fan.
