Fantasy Baseball. Would you make this trade?
Would you make the trade of Lance Berkman and Torii Hunter for Albert Pujols? Or am I not getting enough for the arguable MVP?
Answers:
Who do you guys think is better A-Rod or David Ortiz?
Lance Berkman will have a great season, even better than last year now that he has Carlos Lee to protect him. He is a top ten fantasy stud in any league and his numbers will be similar to Pujols'. Hunter is a good third or fourth OF for any team and now that he is healthy he's going to have a good season, his SB and power #'s should go up. Of course Pujols is the #1 fantasy stud but I would make the trade in your position.Should I trade Tom Gordan For Edwin Encarnation?
Yes, you should make this trade. Albert Pujols is going to cover a lot of stats including home runs and rbi's and the other two are pretty much just going to be above average, but Albert is amazing so make this trade while you can.Who to start Westbrook or Parker?
Not a trade you need to be making. Pujols is too much of a jump over Berkman, and Torii Hunter is losing his value more and more. His value used to be in his speed, but he doesn't run as much anymore. And his power is not going to make up for the incredible loss in dropping from Pujols to Berkman.Not to mention that Albert has a MUCH better average (by probably 30-40 points) than Berkman and is far more consistent.
Note: I'm assuming you are trading AWAY Pujols. Reverse applies of course if you are the one getting Pujols.
You can look at it by round value, too, in a typical draft. Pujols is the first pick. Berkman is a mid-2nd rounder and Hunter is about an 8-10 round guy. So would you trade down from the #1 pick to a mid-2nd rounder and ask only a 9th rounder in return?
And who are Lewis Blake and Lewis Black or do I need to get a life?
It depends on if you have some bum on your team willing to drop like a fly. Then it would be Berkman and Hunter for Pujols and a bum. To me that sounds good.Also I think that Berkman is sloted as 1B and OF so there are 2 spots there for you!
I would. Combined, Berkman and Hunter produce more R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, and 2B. Pujols would still beat them both in AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS, and K, however.
My guess is that your league doesn't play with all four of these (AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS), and therefore Berkman/Hunter would be of more value than Pujols.
Trading Berkman for Pujols alone might favor the team with Berkman, but not if you're trading Berkman and Hunter for Pujols.
No you are getting enough because Lance Berkman hit 40 homers and 120 RBI last year and Torii Hunter hit 32 homers and 96 RBI last year, and he was hurt for like 30 games so That is a great trade on your part you should definitely except that trade, plus Torii steals bases.
