Subject: Trade Analysis Posted by: BillyGoat - [504522] Sun, Jan 21, 22:42 Any input on following trade would be appreciated. I am perplexed with what to do on this trade. My uncertainty lies in evaluating how much of a difference is an HR rating of 459 vs an HR rating of 498. Stats of players giving up: Player A: SS - 463, 459, 345, 453 Player B: OF - 473, 282, 293, 471 Sats of player acquiring: Player A: SS - 446, 498, 395, 343 Player B: OF - 480, 395, 312, 287 All other factors are fairly equal. My team has 7 players with Avg over 470, but only two players with HR over 420: the 459 above and a 479. It seems that my team should be scoring lots of runs, but it hasn't the last few seasons. The guy that has won my division has a bunch of guys with 440-460 avg, but big HR numbers. | ||||||

Not knowing any other data, like OBP and SLG, I wouldn't make the trade. You are giving up speed at both positions and the higher average SS. Again, this is without knowing all the details and just my 2 cents, but you can find a better trade to make. | |||||

You know, a lot of teams don't think speed is a big deal. Take a look at the teams leading your league in stolen bases. Take a look at runs scored. There is a very good chance that they are leading the league in both. The OFers in the deal are a wash. I wouldn't give up the speed to increase a HR rating that is still below 415. I also wouldn't trade SS for a difference in HR rating when they are both above 450. Wammie is correct, though. Age, contract value and length should sway the ultimate decision if speed is not your concern. Personally, I don't like to have more than one or two guys in any line-up that are below 300 in speed. | |||||
