Question

just accpeted a trade, i am first in the league right now its a 20 dollar league winner gets about 200... and my closer just got hurt and now i only have mariono rivira? from new york..

soo heres the trade let me know what u think.. keep in mind i needed a closer

i would get :

David Murphy

(Tex - LF,CF,RF) B.J. Ryan

(Tor - RP)

And i would give up Jason Bay

Answer 1

its a pretty good trade just because bay is probably going to hit for a lower avg in the second half plus his team isnt exactly the best team.

Murphy has josh hamilton to hit him in. plus, bj ryan is a good closer and u needed one

Answer 2

You would win that trade hands down. The downgrade from Bay to Murphy is slight. Bay probably will be better in the second half than Murphy but he is prone to slumps and Murphy has yet to reach his ceiling. And, to compensate you for taking this slight downgrade you get an elite closer who has remained healthy for a while. Sounds like a no-brainer even if you didnt need saves.
