Trade

[kujay]

Another owner has been trying to get Harang off me for a few weeks now. I have a huge front four (Peavy, Z, Billingsley, Hamels), so he's expendable.

 

He offered Maggs, then Fukudome. I countered with a demand for Corey Hart.

 

Would he be nuts to trade me Corey Hart for Harang?

I like Hart a lot more than Harang, but it wouldn't be the most nuts trade ever if he needs pitching and has OF to spare. Harang was pretty darn fantastic prior to last year.

He's also been pretty darn fantastic this year at times. It's tough to gauge whether or not he's back to his old ways or still trying to break out of his crappy ways. Personally, if it's the former, I think he's worth more than Corey Hart. I would've considered the Maggs trade. Unless you need SB and he made the most sense.

 

I just don't like Corey Hart as a fantasy player. Sure he'll hit 20HR and steal 20 bases, but it's sporadic. It's never enough consistently throughout the year to warrant starting him every day. Personally I would've considered the Maggs trade, but that's just me. He's not gonna hit .240 the rest of the year, and he's consistently put up a .300AVG or better (.298 in 06) 20+HR and 100+RBI the past three seasons. I guess what it boils down to is whether or not steals are your priority here.

Steals are a priority. He actually declined Hart for Harang now, and is asking for Peavy instead. He's pumping up Hart as a 30-30 guy. I just don't see that. 20-20 maybe, but not 30-30. I'm in the position of strength here, so I'm just going to wait this out.

You should counter with your worst player and see how he likes it. Corey Hart has about as much chance as going 30-30 as I do

Haha, I know. He's an old friend, but I've told him he's full of crap on this one.
