Really big trade. Need help!?

Question

Trade 1: which would you rather be Side A gets carlos beltran and carlos gomez . side B gets erik bedard, brian fuentes, and carl crawford.

pick which you would rather have again for trade 2.

Trade 2: side A gets jay bruce and carlos beltran. side B gets francisco rodriguez and tim lincecum.

Answer 1

I'd rather be side B in both trades. With the second trade I'd rather be side B if you need pitching. I can see taking side A if you need hitting. But side B is getting more value in the deal.

Answer 2

I'd rather be side B in both trades.

Carlos Gomez has a lot of speed, but there is probably cheap speed floating around the free agent list. (I.E. Joey Gathright, Jerry Harrison Jr.) Same thing with goes for Fuentes. I'm sure there are a couple of able closers listed as free agents. That said, it's basically Beltran for Bedard and Crawford. I like Crwaford more than Beltran and he was drafted higher than him in most drafts. With Bedard, side B is getting a solid pitcher who is going to turn it around sooner than later.

Trade 2: K-Rod is the best closer in baseball. He's on pace to save 50+ games. Lincecum is pitching out of this world, albeit on a bad team. He's logged quality starts in almost of his games this season. Not to mention, he strikes out a batter an inning. Jay Bruce looks like he's going to be stud, but we can't say he's proven until he puts it together for another few months. Beltran is a s**y name, but there are a number of other lesser known players who're better. His speed and average have both decreased. Good luck!

Answer 3

B in both, B side in the first trade is a steal, second trade is closer but still B

Answer 4

I would say take side B in the first trade because crawford is the better the beltran and gomez...plus you get a nice starter and closer. For trade 2, also take B because bruce is unproven and k-rod is leading the league in saves...plus lincecum is a stud

Answer 5

i like side B for both. although i'm a huge fan of carlos gomez, carlos beltran is not a very valuable fantasy player. carl crawford is the big prize in trade 1, and he has great potential on a decent rays team. fuentes is ok, he'll get a few saves opportunities, and bedard is an inconsistent starter. but still, crawford is too much to overlook. he'll get runs, rbis, hrs, and sbs. for trade 2, side B easily wins. lincecum has been lights out this year. he's very consistent in racking up wins and strikeouts while posting a respectable ERA and WHIP. k-rod will lead the league in saves this year; so far, he looks like he will. jay bruce is valuable, but these two pitchers are top-tier guys.

Answer 6

Trade 1 Side A

Trade 2 Side B

Answer 7

Both trades depend on what line up you already have.I would take take B in both trades because good relief pitchers are hard to come by after the draft.And to get a top relief pitcher in trade two I would trade even without Lincecoum.Trade one would depend more on what your team needs most But a starter,reliefer and Crawford look pretty good
