Trade help involving Ryan Howard and Jose Bautista

by NastyNessy71 on May 15, 2011 11:16 PM EDT

My team is coming off a big win this week to move to 4-2 and break my 0-2 losing streak. I have decided to offer a dangerous trade and would like to know your guys feelings.

My team consists of Ryan Howard at first and I just picked up Eric Hosmer for my bench. My third base is Pedro ALvarez and Pablo Sandivol (DL for another month). My team is built off hitting with Tulo at SS, and my Outfield set with 4 studs in Carlos Gonzalez, Mike Stanton, Jason Heyward and Justin Upton. I just offered a deal to the team who's in first place in my league. I offered Ryan Howard (150 points) and Justin Upton (131 points) for Jose Bautista (175points) and Aubrey Huff (92 points).

With this deal I move Hosmer to first base, Bautista to third, Alvarez to my bench and then my utiltity would be from a combo of Aubrey Huff, Alvarez and Sandivol when healthy. What do you guys think about this deal? He has yet to respond but do you think it would be a good deal for me?

id aim for a pitcher instead of aubrey huff

there’s really no sense in taking on aubrey huff if you are just gonna be using sandoval when he gets healthy, seems like a smaller league from the amount of talent you have, so you should be able to replace Huff’s talents pretty easily through FA, you should aim for a pitcher

Meh

I have tried to work some pitching with this guy and he’s hard to deal with. I know he has interest in my Matt Garza but he low balls me every time. And yes this is a 10 team mixed league so there are guys like Trumbo still as Free Agents. I just want to nab Bautista for 3rd because i have read numerous things on this Hosmer guy and he sounds legit so I think Ryan Howard for a nice third baseman is plausible. If this guy doesn’t bite i may give Hosmer another week or two and if he really impresses then I may pursue Adrian Beltre and a pitcher for Howard… I know Howard is hot in my league tho… a lot of people like the “names” if you know what I mean.

Seems fair, but I think your outfield is in danger of collapsing and you're selling low on Upton.

+1

Howard for Bautista is favored toward joey bats due to 3B eligibility and him being the best hitter in baseball right now, but huff <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< upton…. go for a pitcher like a brett anderson or morrow, someone who has peripheral numbers that exceed their ERA and W-L columns….
