Baseball Trade?

Question

Howie Kendrick, and Carlos Beltran

for

Freddy Sanchez and Mark Teixiera

Not gonna tell you what end of it i have. I am interested as to who you think is getting a better deal!! My team isnt really lacking anything, position-wise..so this would just be a value trade!

Answer 1

Going for value? The choice is clear... take Kendrick and Beltran.

Beltran is going in the top 8 picks this year, while Tex is going anywhere from late second round to late third round in a standard 12 team league. Power and speed is a rare combination, and Beltran is one of the few with that coveted skill set.

I would also rather have Kendrick than Sanchez on my fantasy team. If Sanchez's average falls down to .300 or so, he won't produce to well for your fantasy team as he as little power and speed. Also his runs and RBI totals from last year would fall off. Considering he has no track record of hitting in the .340's and AVG is a stat that varies year to year, expect his AVG to come back to earth this year.

Kendrick is a player who ripped it up in the minors last year and played pretty well for a first timer in limited major league action. I expect Kendrick to have a much better season than Sanchez.

Definitely take the Beltran/Kendrick Package, and good luck the rest of the way!

Answer 2

I'd take the Kendrick/Beltran side of the trade.

Beltran and Teixiera are both premium players - one popular rating system has Beltran ranked 10th and Teixiera ranked 14th. So they are pretty even - in my opinion, 1B is so deep this year that, if everything is equal, I'd rather have an outfielder (not to mention you need more outfield depth over the course of the season. And Beltran's steals are nice.

The key for me is Kendrick -- I think he has a lot of upside at second, where he'll be playing this year, and second base is such a thin position this year, I'd easily take him over Sanchez. (The same ranking has Kendrick at #105 and Sanchez at #178.)

Answer 3

i would take kendrick and beltran there both are good hitters but beltran is WAY better and freddy sanchezs just gets a good average but mark is the best 1B in the AL so if you didnt accept yet you'll be lucky if your the one getting howie and carlos

Answer 4

Definately take Kendrick and Beltran. Kendrick and Sanchez will be comporable so it's really Beltran for Teix. Beltran basically wins that matchup in every category.

Answer 5

I guess I'll go against what the others have said because I like flexibility. Freddy can fill 5 positions in my league. The Bucs line-up has improved and they should be better this year giving Freddy a good chance to improve on his production. Howie is supposed to be good but that's something to be scene.

Answer 6

Whoever has Beltran and Kendrick are getting a slightly better deal

Answer 7

the first commerce is impressive for you. Figgins is versatile and is tremendous for BA, runs, and SB's. street is a good closer, yet on a nasty crew. Cordero is undesirable because he's inconsistent and blows many saves. Plus, he moved from a pitcher's park to a hitter's park, so assume an inflated era and WHIP. the second one commerce is even, yet i'd do it on condition that the first commerce receives commonplace. Then, you'll truly have sufficient % to be in a position to lose Roberts. Uggla grant you with some means yet a low BA. Willis is sweet, yet Vazquez is a lot extra appropriate and tremendous for ok's. wish I helped!

Answer 8

kendrick/beltran would be getting the better deal...i dont know what the hell happened to Mark T. last year but his numbers dropped off drastically.

Answer 9

Seems like a fair trade, except for the fact that you'll get more speed from Beltran. And stolen bases count too, you know.
