Fantasy Baseball Trade?

Question

Should i trade Curt Schilling and Johnny Damon for Ben Sheets and Carl Crawford. Please give me in great details why i should or shouldnt trade. THANX

Answer 1

It is a good trade for you. First of all Schilling is as injury prone as Sheets lately , dont let the good start fool you. If both stay healthy Sheets is clearly the better starter right now so well worth the gamble. Crawford is a top 10 player period! Damon is very good and likely outscores Crawford but after that is where you make up the difference. Power will not be as big a factor as some think, Crawford is continuing to uptrend his power numbers as he gains strength every year and this year he becomes a 20-25 HR hitter (keeps him pretty even with Damon). Crawford will hit for 10 or 15 points higher BA and will steal 30 more sacks than Damon (remember the yankees know if they green light Damon they likely take away better pitches from the hitter behind him). It is a fairly close overall trade but you get the best potential, Damon and Schilling have peaked professionally, Crawford and Sheets have not! So the potential for even better numbers exists (also take note of the TB lineup, they have a better group of hitters than people give them credit for...i.e., more opportunity for Crawford)

Answer 2

Yes, I do not even know why you are hesitating. Crawford is the best player in the deal and the only one close to a first round pick (which in fact he is). Crawford will better Damon in SB by a huge margin, and this season will probably get more power, too, according to projections. BA is similar. Schilling is good, but not great anymore, but Sheets is top-five when he is healthy. Even considering the health, I would take the deal if I were you. It is arguable that Crawford alone is worth Damon and Schilling.

Answer 3

I am going to have to disagree with the others and say hold on to Schilling and Damon. Sheets is not going to be as good as his start to the year has been. I would prefer Damon to Crawford, although it depends on your team needs. The guy that said Crawford will score more might not be right come the end of the year because Crawford does not have Jeter, Abreu and A-Rod batting behind him. Damon has more power and is above average as far as Stolen bases. If you are really hurting for steals and are set in the other categories, go for it. Otherwise, try to hold on to Damon. Good luck.

Answer 4

Yes, absolutely, Curt Schilling hasn't been dominant for a few years. Neither pitched is very dependable for health however. On the other side, Crawford is an abolutely amazing fantasy pick, a top ten - fifteen player. he hits, steals bases and scores. the only thing damon might outscore him in is runs, becasue he plays in that Yankees lineup. If you can, I would definitely make the trade. Just look at Crawfords stats from last year.

Answer 5

If you receiving Crawford, yes! He is top 5 pick potential and is A SB machine. Sheets is injury prone but if he isnt hurt he is A Cy Young candidate and just look at his K/BB ratio last year, it was unbelieveable! Damon is alright but he is'nt on the level of Crawford in any categorie and Schill is aging but will still be good for atleast 170 K's and 12-14 wins but Crawford and Sheets is deffinately the better end of that deal.

Answer 6

yes u shouldnt even think about this one. Crawford is way better than damon and sheets is a much younger schilling.

Answer 7

that may not even close. No commerce. Navarro is a sturdy catcherbut Harden if greater constructive than Lilly and Fielder is greater constructive at his place than Navarro. i'm questioning in case you have a 1B already and hence you're even staring at this commerce? if so, you additionally could make a greater constructive deal than this one. you will detect a back-up on the FA checklist.
