Hey there, several trades have been offered to me an I need your opinions: 1. One guy offered me A.Rodriguez for A. Ethier. I have A. Ramirez on 3B and Ethier, Pence, Soriano, Lind and Dunn... I am leaning towards pulling the trigger... 2. D. Lee, Choo and Sabathia for Pujols and Volstad On 1B I have also Berkman. My SP´s are Myers, Volstad, W. Rodriguez, C. Lee, Pettitte, Galarraga and Lackey on DL I dunno. I don´t see any help for me. Do you? 3.R. Cano for B. Inge I am not sure. Inge is dong pretty good right now and I use him as C since J. Mauer is on DL. My other options on 2B are Weeks, who is doing well and Kendricks. Please give me your opinions and advices. Thx alot.
1 is a no brainer. Take Arod. He will outproduce 99.9% of the league even minus a month. 2. Thats not close for Pujols. Lee may be done as his power stats and OPS seem to be in decline and hes a huge health risk. Sabathia wont have the same era stats in that sandbox called yankee stadium. 3. Accumulating talent is never a bad thing. This is going to be a big year for Cano in that lineup. Inge changed a few things with his swing but hes still a 250 or so hitter. Cano will win a batting title one of these years. He doesnt walk but unless OBP is a factor thats a non issue. Just grab Salty or Jesus Flores off FA to fill in for Mauer. Salty especially has a good ceiling especially as a fantasy C.
Thx. I really appreciate your advice. I accepted the trades for A-Rod and Cano and rejected the other one. Since Mauer is projected back in the lineup this weekend I won´t have to pick up a gap filler at C.
