Good trade?

[12345]

Let me know which team comes out with the better end of the deal or is it a push:

Team A gets:
Brandon Phillips
Michael Young

Team B gets:
Alex Rodrigues
Ty Wiggington

Standard Roto league other than OBP is also included.

Also this trade as well:

Team A gets:
Ichiro Suzuki
Clayton Kershaw

Team B gets:
Cliff Lee
Johan Santana

Thanks.

I'd say A wins the first one and B wins the second. ARod is pretty awful this year and a serious injury risk.

Well I am Team A in both situations, but I have been trying to boost up my OBP and average, and had some pitchers to deal. As I still have this pitching core:

Tim Hudson
Arthur Rhodes
Jonathan Papelbon
Andrew Bailey
Kevin Gregg
Daniel Bard
Mike Pelfrey
Ryan Dempster
Yovani Gallardo
Jered Weaver
Brandon Webb (DL)

Note that holds are also a stat and why I have Baily and Bard. I am also a little over on my pitching and needed strikeouts, so Kershaw was good for that.

Thanks for the opinion.

What does the rest of your outfield look like?

 

[12345]

C Carlos Santana
1B Prince Fielder
2B Dan Uggla
3B Alex Rodriguez
SS Álex González
OF Alfonso Soriano
OF Ichiro Suzuki
OF Marlon Byrd
Util Ty Wiggington
Util Bobby Abreu
BN Mike Napoli
BN Rafael Furcal
BN Denard Span

I am currently in the process of accepting the first trade listed.

I am in 4th out of 12 and am trying to make a push as I am trying to catch up in K's by getting power pitchers and then I am in last in OBP and Avg. Those are the areas that I can hopefully make improvements in and make a move for the top. As I am in 1st in ERA, WHIP, Holds, Saves and SB.

There is only 6 points separating me and 1st.

Replace Byrd with Span and you get your AVG and OBP as well as SBs.

Thanks for the advice, I will try that out and see where it goes from there.

Byrd is hitting .323 but only has 10 walks on the season. Span is hitting .278 but has 30 walks. I guess it's kind of a wash.
