Delgado, Griffey and Snyder for S. Drew, Montero and J. Wilson?

Question

I have Delgado, Griffey and Synder and was offered the other three. I am in a NL-only keeper league and I am in a re-building year so Drew is my centerpiece in this trade. What do you guys think of the trade of of S. Drew's future?

Answer 2

Wow, usually the trade proposal questions are pretty easy, but this is a tough one.  I'm guessing that the team you are trading with is slightly higher in the standings than you are.  That's the only way this trade would make sense, as Delgado and Griffey are about the least durable players out there.  He must be making a playoff surge, kind of like the Phoenix Suns did with trading for Shaq.  Hopefully for him, it won't have the same results.

Montero is a backup catcher, but he hits the ball well.  The odds are that another team out there is going to find him and pick him up...you just have to hope it's an NL team.  I like Drew because he can run, and he plays in an incredibly young offensive lineup.  Yeah, the Dbacks strikeout like crazy now, but think about it - two or three years down the road they are going to be a powerhouse once these kids get some experience, and Drew will be hitting in the #2 hole in the order.  Pretty productive.

Despite all of that analysis, my suggestion to you is COUNTER.  With Montero being a backup, and J. Wilson being an SS already, I would ask for a reserve outfielder as opposed to J. Wilson.  Makes no sense for you to take two shortstops when you can only play one.  Putting in a SS, especially J. Wilson, as a utility hitter is indicative of an anemic fantasy offense.

Drew is good, but you need at least a replacement OF for Griffey.
