Should I ACCEPT or REJECT this trade?

Question

I'm giving up Bay and Jeter for Hoffman and Santana.
Any thoughts? Should I accept or reject? I have Rollins to back up for Jeter and Pierre for Bay.

Answer 1

I would accept.
Johan Santana is the best pitcher in the league and you got amazing back-ups.
Hoffman will give 40+ saves.

Answer 2

Hoffman over Jeter:
No, Jeter may be everybodies pick to choke towards the end of the year but how many times has he come through in the clutch. Hoffman has been nothing but impressive. Last season he posted some pretty good #'s, but dont look for him to repeat. Altough a good pitcher, he can't contend with the A's chance to contend for the AL West Crown. Not a good trade there, you are better off keeping him when he is at an impressive .344 ba average. As of now, he is back 6 hr to tie the league leader. Don't give up on him yet.

Santana over Bay:
I'm assuming you are talking about Johan and not Ervin. I would go with the trade on this one. Go ahead and get the 2004 and 2006 AL Cy Young winner if you want to up your points in fantasy. He is a lock in for some major wins this year with the Twins. Jason Bay is young, but still looking for improvement.

I would say REJECT this overall trade. If it were a person for person trade, you got my opinion. Since it isn't, you have a better chance @ winning your league if you stay with Jeter and Bay!

Good luck bud!

Answer 3

Which Santana is it (there are several) but I'm guessing Johan. This trade really depends on what your needs are at pitcher. If you need a stud pitcher (again assuming Johan) I would do this trade.I actulally think that Rollins will have a beteter season than Jeter. Hoffman will have another 35-40 SV season. ACCEPT
Santana>Bay, Hoffman just a little worse than Jeter, but with Rollins its not like you are really losing a thing.

Answer 4

Wow, this trade would be very big for you one way or another. Rollins will put up some good SB and average numbers, as will Pierre, honestly, if you feel you have enough pop in your lineup, and feel you need some more pitching consistency, then I would do it. Because, over the past 3-4 years, no pitchers have been more consistent at their positions than Santana who has won the last 3 Cy Youngs and Hoffman who will be a 40 save guy and will help with your ERA. It just depends on your needs really...

Answer 5

Wow thats a crazy trade. I would do that. But possibly offer Rollins and Bay for Santana and Hoffman (see if he will bite on that.

I mean its a great trade for you either way. You will have help in a closer and you will get the best pitcher. And if you have a back up in SS makes it even better. (may want to look into getting a better OF then Pierre but its okay for now) Especially since furcal hurt him self and Pierre gets to lead off now.

Answer 6

Accept. Pierre will cover Bay ,last year was a fluke, he won't put up the numbers you think. Rollins is a starter everywhere except behind Jeter. You giving up nothing he will fill his shoes easy. You pick up an ace and a fireman. Good trade.

Answer 7

I'd accept if I were you. You have amazing backups, especially Rollins, who may even be better statistically than Jeter. You get the best pitcher in the league and one of the top 25 pitchers for two top 25 guys who are replaced by another top 25 guy and a speed demon.

Answer 8

I would reject the trade keep Bay and Jeter.

Answer 9

At first I was thinking no, but when I saw your backups, it's obvious that you should accept it. Santana is the best pitcher in the game and should win at least 15 games easy. Hoffman may be getting up there in age, but still ranks among the toughest pitchers to hit.

My opinion, accept the trade!

Answer 10

Reject, unless your in major trouble and need for SP, don't do this. You are giving up two good players. You can just trade Rollins for a SP or RP.
