i was asked to trade vladimir for bobby abreu. i have vlad. is that a fair trade.?

Answer 1

I would keep Vlad. Bobby is hurt right now, and you don't know how the side strain will effect his hitting. Abreau will lprobably score a lot of runs with the yanks, but after a down year last year, and with an injury in spring training, it is a risk right now.

Answer 2

No Way! Vlad is the second best OF behind Soriano. I would maybe try to get a package deal with Abreu. Say maybe Abreu and a top ten pitcher like Roy Oswalt, Brandon Webb, Bonderman. You have the upper hand in this trade by far. I like Abreu to have good numbers this year, but you should try and get more than 1 for 1 trade.

Answer 3

Abreu is possibly the most overrated player in baseball. Look at his numbers and you will see he hits for minimal power, strikes out a ton and does not have much of an average.

Vlad walks almost as much, drives in more runs, strikes out less and hits for much better power.

Abreau had that one half season before he got off the juice and now he is just a glorified version of Kevin Youkilis. Look at the stats from last year, and you will see he and Youk had about the same season

Answer 4

Vlad is usually a first round pick (early round two at the latest). Abreu goes in round three or four (at best). Think about it. When you picked Vlad, did it even cross your mind that maybe you should take Abreu - NO!

No Deal Howie!!!

Answer 5

NO
Even if Bobby Abreu is healthy, Vlad is still a much better player.

Answer 6

At the moment, no. Abreu is injured right now, and his power was trending down the second half of last year. Though he'll get you more SBs over the course of a season.

If they were both healthy, I'd still keep Guerrero out of the two. See if you can get something more out of him.
