Morneau/Lincecum for Braun/Nathan

[CoBleacherBum]

What does everyone think of this trade? I'm getting Morneau/Lincecum and giving Braun/Nathan. I also have Trevor Hoffman, Dan Wheeler, both Gregg and Marmol and Valverde.

 

Advise on this trade?

[NCCubFan]

Do it yesterday. I'd take a top starter over a top reliever any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Thought so. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

That guy must be desperate for saves. Morneau could very well bounce back and hit 30 home runs again. The total drop off in production between him and Braun won't severe enough to make you not do this. Lincecum is key. Heck, I might even consider trading Pujols and Nathan for Morneau and Lincecum

[CoBleacherBum]

He was pretty desperate and I was rejecting offers for a while. His only other save guy is jenks.

[Clem Fandango]

Ouch. Yeah, he's overpaying for saves that's for sure. You're raking it with this trade. Nice work

Such a difference between 5x5 and scoring leagues. In my current keeper league, closers are about the least important position out there. They just aren't worth anything at all. In a 5x5 league though, they are worth an insane amount.

The dropoff from Braun to Morneau isn't even big at all if walks, obp, or ops are stats in that league

[CoBleacherBum]

Walks and OBP are in the league.
