Team A gives up:

 

Tim Lincecum (693 points in 2009, 700 projected in 2010)

Russell Martin (327 points in 2009, 363 projected in 2010)

Timothy Alderson (#58 rated prospect, according to Scouting Book)

 

Team B gives up:

Joe Mauer (554 points in 2009, 563 projected in 2010)

Chad Billingsley (458 points in 2009, 539 projected in 2010)

Stephen Strasburg (#2 rated prospect, according to Baseball America)

 

Is this trade: a) fair, b) slightly better for one team, c) significantly better for one team, or d) bad?

slightly better for Team A imo

Keeper league? Dyansty league? Do you have Minor league rosters?

[sneakypower]

in any format this is better for A, if it's a keeper/dynasty it becomes an even bigger swindle

It's a large keeper league that will likely transition to dynasty.

And yeah even myself who you know doesn't value prospects as much as others would say this is better for team A.

 

Team A gets the best catcher in the bigs who is still young and coming into his prime, and due to position is one of the most valuable players, a good SP who could be great and is young, and the top pitching prospect in all of baseball.

 

Team B gets the best SP in the bigs currently, an injured and severely decline catcher, a good but not elite prospect.

It's borderline significantly better for Team A. Like others have said, if it's a keeper league then Team A has a great deal. If not, it's still a pretty good deal for Team A.

 

Team A loses about 150 points in pitching, but gains 200 at C and gets a better prospect.

Since I'm in this league and I know the rules and scoring system that's in place, if I were Team B I would turn this down with the quickness

Thanks for the input, guys. Pretty much sums up the thoughts of Owner B, and I cannot blame him for not being interested.
