Advice on a Fantasy Baseball trade.....?

Question

I give up:

-Pena, Carlos 1B TB

·Tulowitzki, Troy SS COL

I get:

·Cueto, Johnny SP CIN

·Kershaw, Clayton SP LA

·Matsuzaka, Daisuke SP BOS

This is a 15 person keeper league and I need young pitching. I have Saltalamacchia, Jacobs, and Blalock that can play 1st base....and I have Guzman and Theriot that can play SS.

Answer 1

If u need pitching then pull the trigger, it looks pretty good

Answer 2

thats leaving you a little short in the offensive categories buddy

Answer 3

Try and get a batter, your backup 1st baseman and SS isn't going to cut it.

Answer 4

I would go through with this trade.  You have Christian Guzman, who has shown power at the plate for a change.  He will also steal a lot of bases.  If Guzman slumps, you have another great SS in Theriot.  Johnny Cueto is a great rookie despite some of his poor outings.  Daisuke will pitch like himself eventually (his last outing, he didn't seem like he was completely healthy).  Daisuke should win as many games after the all-star break as he won before.

Answer 5

I assume your team is out of contention and you're planning for next year?  It's a great deal for the future, but as was mentioned above, you're leaving yourself a bit short on offense this season by getting rid of Pena.
