Instead of Joba for Church...?

Question

I traded Joba & Prince Fielder for Ryan Church & Albert Pujols. My pitching is ok but minimal bench. I think I'm good now in the long run. I've been in the upper 1/2 of my league the entire season. Thoughts?

Answer 1

Wow. This was the worst time for a trade. Church is on the DL, and Pujols is heading there. But Joba has been lights out in relief, and is getting to a third starter status, so I don't think that it's a great deal at the present. Maybe in the long run it would be good, but you're gonna be out of it for a couple of weeks in the least cuz of those two.

Answer 2

Get bench players like Ryan Ludwick (OF), Milton Bradley(OF), Todd Wellemayer(P), and Hideki Kuroda(P).  Most of these guys are sleepers and many people are avoiding them as they think they will fall soon.  Pick any of the above up and you will be very happy you did.

Answer 3

lemmie get this straight u traded two perfectly healty people for 2 amazing hitter on the DL i woulda waited
