BBB: Who wins this trade?

Question

Team A gets:

C J. Posada

1B A. Gonzalez

2B C. Utley

Team B gets:

C J. Mauer

1B R. Howard

2B B. Roberts

Who wins? Why?

Answer 1

Slight edge to team A, as all three are multiple category producers, while Mauer is really just a BA guy, and Howard is only HRs & RBIs.

But it looks like a fair trade to me.  You can argue B got guys with higher upside from this point on.

Answer 2

Ummmm, yeah, I agree, Team A wins this fairly easily.  Utley is on pace to be the NL MVP.  He hits for average, hits for power (#2 in MLB in HR's as of right now..) and can steal his fair share of bases.  Posada is very under-rated imho.  He's in an explosive offense, he can also hit for excellent average, and well-above-average power.  Yes, his shoulders' been bothering him.  It bothers him when he THROWS, though; not when he hits, and that's all fantasy mgr's care about; hitting.    Adrian Gonzalez has out-played Ryan Howard all year, and while Howard will probably hit more HR's by seasons' end, Gonzalez will have better average (by a mile..) score more runs, and will be very close to Howard in RBI's.   Overall, Team B gets one HR hitter in this deal, while Team A gets THREE.  HR hitters tend to help your team in at least four categories, so Team A wins...easily.

Answer 3

Utley is Terrible but Gonzalez is pretty fair but you need to get rid of utley if you have him but gonzalez is cleary the better player in this whole deal

Answer 4

TEAM A WINS.  Are you kidding me?  Utley is just amazing and Gonzalez is pretty legit ; he can actually hit.  However, Team B gets the better catcher.

Answer 5

Team B defenitely wins

why would you trade Utley anyways

Answer 6

A, because Posada Gonzalez and utley r all very good. Howard kills avergave & stikeouts, Mauer doesn't hit for anything but average & its not thaaat good this year & roberts is just not that good
