Would you trade Hamels straight up for Yu in a dynasty league?
Yup. Yu might very well be worth more this season, plus he’s 2 1/2 yrs younger.
Too many productive catchers to need to buy vmart. The argument would be why to sell low. Return calculus is probably not much better than a straight drop n pickup. If you’re that panicky.
Given a deep SP corps, would you give Gio for Shoo? Thanks.
By Shoo, do you mean Choo? I think that’s a fair trade, though depends on who Choo is replacing and how much of an upgrade he represents.
I recent got a trade offer for Jason Kipnis. I was offered Jedd Gyorko, Ryan Howard, and Huston Street. Good deal for me?
Standard quantity for quality. I’d really know context to advise on this though. Who these guys are replacing, league size, whether you need a closer, etc.
I have no closers to speak of. I’d be replacing someone like Garrett Jones, Alfonso Soriano, or Ryan Vogelsong.
Street worries me as I mentioned on the podcast. Depends on who Howard replaces. I’d lean toward no.
Thanks for the feedback!
Is Ervin Santana worth owning in a 10 team mixed roto?
Prob not, but would be easier to compare him to available free agents. I wouldn’t outright drop him though, would shop him around as someone might be willing to buy high.
I trade Craig for Bruce.is it good?
