Fantasy Baseball: Chad Billingsley and Brandon Morrow for Joe Nathan, is it a fair trade?

Question

The deal would send to my team Chad Billingsley and Brandon Morrow. I would be sending the other owner Joe Nathan. Is this a fair trade?

Answer 1

good trade 4 you only if you are covered for saves b/c morrow is only for a few more weeks.

Answer 2

Well, this all depends on needs. If you need K's, Billingsley is a great option. But, I think you're losing this one because of Morrow. I'm from Seattle and I think the concensus here is that he's going to be a starter next season. Therfore, he will not be closing much longer with Putz back and working back into the closer role. I know you might wonder what him starting next year has to do with anything, but the team will not want to get him into the closer mentallity anymore than he already is and should keep him as setup.

So basically, you're trading Nathan for Billingsley and a few more weeks (if that) of Morrow as a closer. I would say you can get a better SP for Nathan. See what else this other manager has for SP and offer up Nathan for a better SP.
