Dear RotoRob: Do I Make this Megadeal?
Dear RotoRob,
A guy is asking from me in a trade Jimmy Rollins, David DeJesus and Josh Hamilton and he has offered me Vladimir Guerrero, J.J. Hardy and Mariano Rivera. Do you think it will be a fair trade for me? I’m in a keeper league. Here’s my keepers list at this time:
Bengie Molina
Paul Konerko
Orlando Hudson
Jimmy Rollins
David Wright
Alfonso Soriano
Manny Ramirez
Josh Hamilton
Daisuke Matsuzaka
Brandon Webb
Rich Harden
Jason Isringhausen
Do you think my team would be better with Vlad, Hardy and Rivera?
Thanks,
Martin
Martin,
I would say “no!”
Hamilton is a somewhat young masher in Texas (26 years old) and Vlady is 32 years old now. I do think Rollins had a career year, but I’d rather have the defending NL MVP over Hardy. Mo for DeJesus was just thrown in there to throw you off the trail of how bad the rest of the trade is.
