Tempting Offer - What You Think?

[Iamlegend]

I send:
Nelson Cruz
Felix Hernandez
Billy BUtler

He Sends:
Albert Pujols
Jake Peavy

who wins?

[ZoomVT]

he wins by a lot IMO

You are basically trading 3 players for Pujols. You will end up dropping Peavy half way through the season.

King Felix will give you better stats than Peavy IMO. Butler and Cruz together dont equal Pujols but there are tons of 1B you could get for a lot less. I guess it depends on your roster, but my first thought is to tell him to take a hike.

I think Zoom hit it on the head when he said it depends on your roster. How is your OF depth, who do you have that would replace Cruz in the starting lineup?

You said tempting offer, so I'm assuming it was made to you? maybe try to counter and get his next best pitcher above peavy. You're def. buying him low, and selling Cruz high.

If you've got decent depth at OF, I'd think about it. Its always worth a thought to get the best player in the game.

[Iamlegend]

this league has crazy stats cause the commish is weird so i have outfield assists. I have a lot of depth imo at OF..

Manny Ramirez DL lol
Jacoby Ellusbury DL lol
Michael Bourn
Nyjer Morgan
Jayson Werth
Rick Ankiel

for 3 OF spots and 2 util i can fill with them if i see fit.

also, I have Hanley Ramirez lol, so if i do it i have Pujols/Hanley.

Also heres my SPs other than Peavy

Brett Anderson
Scott Baker
David Price
Dana Eveland (Spot start)
Ben Sheets
Mike Pelfrey
Livan Hernandez
Leo Nunez
Todd Coffey
Jeremy Affeldt
Ryan Perry

for pitching, dude has ****ed stats too like GIDP and Holds, thus why I have some of my relief pitchers.

If he has a bunch of stats like that I dont see why the need to make the trade. King Felix will give you better pitching stats than Peavy, esp with Peavy playing in Chi a launch pad stadium. Cruz will give you power comparable though not equal to Pujols. Avg wont be their but Butler is hitting 300 and I see him doing it all year. Bulter and Cruz for Pujols would be something to consider and if he wants King Felix he would need to include a number 1 pitcher imo
