Chris Young for Nick Johnson

[badger1679666666]

Who wins in this trade?

 

Edit to Add:

 

This is a 10 team rotisserie league NL only with the following categories:

 

Wins, Saves, K's, Holds, ERA, WHIP and Runs, HR, RBI, SB, TB, OBP

 

Chris Young (SP) San Diego

2-2, 3.41 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 26 K's

 

 

Nick Johnson (1B) Nationals

.342/.450ish OBP, 6 HR, 15 RBI, 2 SB, 21 runs, 56 TB

 

Those numbers are from memory.

Good pitcher + great park + not that many great pitchers out there = no brainer trade.

 

First Basemen, even those with great OBP's like Johnson, are replacable.

Whats your current first base situation, and are Dan Johnson, Conor Jackson, or Casey Kotchman available as FAs?

[badger1679666666]

I have Connor Jackson, Lance Niekro, Chase Utley (though I use him at 2b), and Chad Tracy (though I use him at 3B)

 

I am the one with Chris Young (for clarification).

 

I'm leading the league in almost all pitching stats, but could use the bat (as I don't have much depth offensively).

Johnson's too big of an injury risk for someone like Young.

Whats the rest of your rotation? I agree Johnson is an injury risk, but in a league that counts OBP, he has quite a bit of value. I am in a similar situation (I also have young), and would consider trading him for someone like Johnson. Do you have a MI that you could also play Jackson at?

[badger1679666666]

man this is a tough decision. On the surface it looks like a trade that would benefit both teams. If both stay healthy and maintain current levels of production it's win/win.

 

I'm weak offensively and still strong pitching wise, so I'm leaning towards doing it, especially because OBP is one of the stats, not average.
