What do people think of an Ortiz for Rios trade?

Question

I was just offered Alex Rios(CF, RF) for David Ortiz(Ortiz is on my team) in my near-standard, 12 person Head-to-Head - One Win leauge. We use LF, CF, RF and not OF.

My current 1B is Carlos Delgado, with Adam LaRoche(1B) at util. Obviously, David Ortiz on the DL.

My current CF is David DeJesus. RF I have Bobby Abreu and Brad Hawpe. Jacoby Ellsbury(RF, CF, LF) sits idle on the bench every week these days.

Mainly, how do you think Ortiz will do once he comes back? Do people see him tearing it up again? Or should I abondon ship and take Rios?

Not that it matters, the last 10 trades in the league have all been vetoed for weak reasons, mainly due to spite...

Answer 1

Don't accept the trade.  Delgado will cool down and become his old self (not good), but leave Ortiz on the DL list for maybe a couple days to make sure he's back on track for when you bring him back.
