Fantasy baseball ? Is this a good offer to consider?

Question

I give up B. Webb, and B. Benny for J. Verlander, and either M. Cain or T. Hudson.

Webb is the best pitcher, and Penny I am about to drop anyways since I need a starter I can count on, so it is basically a 2 for 1. It is a keeper league, but since we only keep a few of our pitchers, I would probably keep only Verlander into next year. Cain and Verlander have been playing better(Verlander really well) and are good pitchers, and Cain and Hudson would be big improvements over Penny, but is this trade worth it for me?

Answer 1

i guess since you're in a keeper league its an ok trade to make. however we know webb is going to be as good as he is for at least another 5 years.

Answer 2

I would hold on to Webb. Verlander is 3-9 and no where near playing like last year. Matt Cain has been horrible and Hudson doesn't have much left. Webb is the best pitcher in fantasy baseball. Drop Penny and look for a more reliable option. Try to get a Manny Parra or someone of that type who will be more reliable then Penny the rest of the year.

Answer 3

Uhh...... No!

Answer 4

Don't get rid of Webb.  He's been through a little rough stretch, but he'll bounce out of it.  Go ahead and try to deal Penny based on what he did last year, but I wouldn't want Verlander.  He and his team aren't clicking.  I personally would rather have Cain and Hudson, but I'm not sure for Webb.  In other words, find something this guy wants other than Webb, keep Penny in, and go for Cain and Hudson.

Answer 5

I agree and probably even more so in a keeper league. Webb is  a top pitcher and a definite keeper.

It certainly would help to know more about your league, size, scoring, number of keepers for example. But without any more info, I would not make this trade.

Good luck. Have fun.
