and Phil Hughes (NYY.) and I'm gettin Vlad Guerrero (LAA.) Jason Bay (Pit.) and Chris Young (SD). What do you think I should do taking the keeper factor into account.
I was offered a trade in my first year keeper league. Im giving up Carlos Gomez (Min.) Mark Reynolds (Ari.)?
I'd take this deal. You are getting 2 top 100 players (Vlad is a top 30 player) for basically Reynolds and I didn't count Bay as a top 100 player because he hasn't played like one in a while.
You have the chance to get Vlad, who if healthy, can produce 110-33-125-.320-2 which is better than what Reynolds will finish the year with...Just because people start hot, doesn't mean they can substain it for a whole season. I think that Reynolds is this year's J.J. Hardy...he may finish with 33 homers, but runs, RBIs, and batting average will be below Vlads.
I think getting Chris Young for nothing is a great deal for you. His ERA and WHIP are microscopic and 167 Ks last season is pretty good too. Big improvement over Hughes.
Bay for Gomez is like a toss up. Gomez is all speed and he's a decent 3 category guy (runs, steals, average). I think Bay has lost whatever he had in 2005-2006 and his days of hitting 30+ homers are probably gone. He is stealing less bases and hitting for a bad average and basically all his stats are in a decline. There is a chance he will bounce back, which is where his value lies, but I wouldn't put too much hope in him.
Still without counting on much from Bay, I think getting Vlad and Young are worth 3 late picks/waiver picks.
Reply:Don't do it. Bay is a shell of his former self and Vlad is getting up in years and no longer is a serious SB threat.
Reply:I would take this trade now. Reynolds is and will always be too streaky and gomez is just a jose reyes minus about 20-30 steals. You get an all star in vlad, a all star is chris young and jason bay who will rebound eventually. Take the deal.
