Another trade offer

[rawaction]

Another league. Head-to-head. Points league.

 

I give up: Ryan Howard and Clay Buchholz

I get: Pablo Sandoval, Jay Bruce, and Brian Matusz

 

I'm thinking I should accept it. Thoughts?

i wouldn't, and im not even that big on howard

If it's a keeper league I would. If not, no. Sandoval has not lived up to expectations, Bruce is a streaky hitter, and Matusz is a rookie who will go through labor pains.

 

Meanwhile you know exactly what you're getting with Ryan Howard... mediocre AVG, 40+ HR, and 130+RBI. And Bucholz has been really solid.

 

But yeah, if it's a keeper league I would probably definitely do it. Matusz upside is likely greater than Bucholz and Sandoval + Bruce still have room to improve, while many think Howard is on the tail end of his peak and is in the beginning stages of a decline. But if it's not a keeper league I wouldn't do it.
