Fantasy Baseball Trade

by user MetsJetsDevils

I am in a keeper fantasy baseball league. We can keep 5 players broken down by 1 IF, 1OF, 1SP, 1RP, and 1 other. My team is stacked. However, I am thinking of trading Miguel Tejada (I want to go with Jose Reyes) for Bobby Abreu. Becuase of the parameters of the trade, that would give me as keepers Reyes, Jason Bay, Miguel Cabrera, and Abreu. Should I make the deal?

Miguel Tejada's 2003-2005 Stats

<stats> Player=Miguel Tejada Type=Batting Years=2003,2004,2005 </stats>

Bobby Abreu's 2003-2005 Stats

<stats> Player=Bobby Abreu Type=Batting Years=2003,2004,2005 </stats>

Depends on your categories, you gotta love Abrue for OB and steals over Tejada.

I think Abreu had an off year and has less steriod concern. I would go with Abreu

yes and yes. you gain more with abreu then with tejada and combine abreu with reyes and you'll pretty much lock up stolen bases.

I'd make the deal. Abreu's "bad year" is a good year for most.

150rbis was not a fluke it was the calculated result of steriod injections.

before you make the deal, with the rule of 1 IF, 1OF, 1SP, 1RP, and 1 other; wouldnt having Reyes, Jason Bay, Miguel Cabrera, and Abreu be too many offensive people for you to keep?

For me personally, I hate Reyes for that OBP + SLG. Steals isn't enough from me.

at the same time, Tejada has proven to be a roidhead without the roids...so he's not going to be as valuable as he once was.

Just to clarify it is a 5x5. I can't believe I forgot to post. Its not an OPS league much to my chagrin. Also, the reason I can keep so many players is that I would keep Reyes as my IF, Cabrera as my OF and Abreu as my other. I have the 1st pick overall so I would simply select Bay who I released.

I would try to get more power out of an OF in a 5x5 league if I were trading 30 HR at SS for 5. Abreu is a plus in all the categories but not a top performer in any of them. If you can add another power bat, Reyes and Bay (who could steal more than Abreu this year) will keep you very competitive in SB. That said, if you're going to keep Reyes (and you should) you need to be able to play him.
