Backdoor Slider 8,295 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm currently in 1st in roto league, battling for points in HR, runs produced, & SBs. I own Votto but am very tired of his production. The BA is nice, but to me the name is worth more than the player. Right now he's similar to Allen Craig or Adrian Gonzalez. So thinking about making an offer. Since I'm weak at OF (Been playing one of Ozuna, Ruf, LCain, or Tabata): Votto for EEncarnacion & SChoo This would help me in categories I need. Thoughts?

Ben Edelman 603 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That seems like a big enough upgrade. EE will probably come close to equaling Votto's numbers this year. So what you are really getting is the upgrade of Choo > Ozuna, which is a huge upgrade. The cost to you is downgrading your keeper list from Votto to EE. That's a pretty big downgrade, as I expect EE to gradually regress as age catches up to him. Still, it's worth it for a trade that has a very good chance of putting you over the top.

Appreciate the thoughts. Pretty much what I'm thinking. He gets the better keeper, I get the production to put me over the top this year. Link to post Share on other sites

Choo and Encarnacion both will have value in a keeper next year as well if you would choose to keep them. At first I was going to come say not to sell low on Votto but you are getting good quality back, go for the title help me http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=357125 Link to post Share on other sites
Kempimus Prime 137 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 i think thats good value for votto Link to post Share on other sites
connorcandela 40 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I would do that trade if I were you. You get a big run producer in Choo and Edwin has great power and they could make up for your loss of Votto. http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=357128 Link to post Share on other sites

VonSquiggs 38 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 your already in first and i think this puts ya over the top, ya cant always play for next year and edwin isnt a ad keeper anyways and puts up big power numbers that votto seems to now lack despite his excellent on base skills/ops, do the deal Link to post Share on other sites
Brol79 1,035 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 do it.this makes your team better and I always love going for the title when you have the chance. Link to post Share on other sites
kaesr 179 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It's hard for me to think in keeper terms since I've only played redraft, but this is a good deal for you IMO. The upgrade to Choo from one of your lesser OFs more than makes up from what I see as only a slight drop from Votto to EE. Thanks for the help with mine. Link to post Share on other sites
Primetime_21 41 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think you gotta do it.... Even in keeper league the most important thing is to win this year. You worked hard to get into first...finish it off and worry about next year next year. Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Hambino 44 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah I agree this helps you immensely this year EE will give you that HR Boost and Choo has been having a fantastic year so will be a major upgrade over any of those current names you hare been using in an OF spot.

loslakes 260 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That is a very solid deal for you if you can get it done. I like Votto, but that gives you more overall depth. Link to post Share on other sites
