Question

Is this a good trade or not? I trade away litsch and murphy to get ludwick. Or Litsch and cantu for ludwick?

Answer 1

Litsch and Murphy would be more fair.

Answer 2

Litsch may win 7 0r 8 more games this year but expect an ERA around 4 and a WHIP near 1.3. That is the kind of pitcher you find on the waiver wire every day. Definitely flip him if you can.

Cantu is HH now (hitting hot) but he has arm problems (triceps) and you probably cannot count on him to go the next 3 months without a DL Stint.

Once he cools down (and that is coming) he is no better than corner infielders on the waiver wire.

Murphy has more of an upside than Cantu and should play the rest of the year without a DL stint. So definitely keep him!

My suggestion is get Ludwick and look for a guy like Aubrey Huff, Jeff Baker, or John Bowker on the waiver wire to replace Cantu.

Answer 3

it is a good business

Answer 4

What the heck? Sounds like Harry Potter! What fantasy sport are you talking about?

Answer 5

No.  Ludwick has finally come down to earth and will be staying there.  Cantu and Ludwick are pretty equal in value.
