trade question

[dew1679666265]

In a league that scores R, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB and AVG offensively, I've been offered Matt Holliday for Cliff Lee. Our pitching scoring is W, K, SV, HLD, ERA, WHIP, QS.

 

I'm doing well in pitching categories and Lee is probably my third best starter (I've also got Greinke and Price). My current OF is Garrett Jones, Shane Victorino, Kosuke, Ryan Ludwick and Jose Guillen (four start).

 

My question is, do I make this Holliday for Lee swap, or do I hold out for a bit more. I have Berkman at first and the guy who's offering the deal has both Adrian Gonzalez and Nick Swisher. Is there any way I could do a Gonzalez for Lee swap, maybe if I include Berkman or something? Or would the Holliday trade be a good one?

I wouldn't trade Lee for Holliday. For whatever reason, Holliday can't drive in runs, even w/ Pujols on base in front of him nearly 1/2 the time. He probably wouldn't do Lee for Gonzalez. I wouldn't do Lee and Berkman for Gonzalez, unless you got something else in return.

Would Lee/Berkman for Gonzalez/Lind be reasonable? I'm second in the league in BA, but I need power pretty badly and that's the one thing Lind has been able to do this year.

I think that'd be reasonable.

Thanks. I'll counter him with that and see what he says.

I know it may not be too pertinent, but Lee is better than Price, and possibly Greinke too (he certainly has been so far this year). If the other guy values one of them more than Lee, I'd try to leverage that - maybe he'd be more willing to let go of Gonzalez if you include Price, for example.

It might be worth a try, but I included Lee in the trade offer because he had originally tried to trade for Lee. I don't know if it's because he thought I'd be more willing to give up Lee or because he valued Lee more than the other two.

 

For what it's worth, he turned down the Lee/Berkman for Gonzalez/Lind offer I countered with.
