Granderson for Conor Jackson

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Would you deal Granderson for Conor Jackson? I have Swisher at 1B, and Markakis, J Upton, and Hermida as other OFs. It's 5x5, and the only category I'm not near the top in is RBI.

Nice outfield. But no, I still probably wouldn't

I wouldn't either. I'm not a huge fan of Granderson given that he had a crazy BABIP last year and is basically a platoon player right now. But you can probably get better value for him. Fantasy players tend to be pretty reactionary, Connor Jackson was a guy you could have picked up on the waiver wire a month ago and Granderson was someone you used a top 10 pick on. Also, 1B is a crazy deep position. For example, a guy like Chris Duncan is probably on your waiver wire. In his career hes had slightly over a year's worth of stats vs RHP (692 PA) and has put up these numbers:

 

288 BA/ 42 HR/ 102 RBI/ 113 R/ 3 SB

 

You'll only play him 2/3rds of the time, but in that time hes going to hit like Prince Fielder.

Not a chance would I do that deal.
