Braun for Webb?

[Tyrant]

I'm in a standard 5x5 league, except we use OBP instead of AVG.

 

Someone offered me Brandon Webb for Ryan Braun. I'm tempted to take it for two reasons:

 

1. I can slot Evan Longoria into 3rd base and still get decent production

2. With our league counting OBP, that probably diminishes Braun's value a little bit

 

Anyone have any other thoughts? I'm in decent shape in offensive categories, but probably use a little pitching help (Smoltz, Liriano, Harden have all busted for me).

Braun will eventually pick it up, but Webb is solid. With Smoltz heading to relief when he's back, it looks like you need some SP help. Since you have Longoria, I'd probably do it.

 

Pointless sidenote: My sisters boyfriend's dad in Webb's agent, and he used to represent Owings until he switched to Boras over the winter.
