Fantasy trade help




hey guys, I really need some advice for this fantasy trade. I'm part of a mixed keeper league, and the trade deadline is near. My team really doesn't have much of a chance to compete this year so I'm really looking to sell of some valuable veterans for good prospects. Option A involves trading Brian Wilson for Alex Gordon and Jeff Clement. Option B would Could probably be made into trading Aaron Hill fo Jay Bruce, Yonder Alonso and the second baseman fom the Brewers. Now I realkydont know what to do, cause there are some valuable layers in both deals, but I feel like a top shelf second baseman is more valuable then a top shelf close. Now it's just to wonder whether Hill can sustain this production, or falls off after his monster season runining any of his value. So what should I do, option a or b or both? Which would be crazy almost

I'd pick option A

Closers come and go. Gordon and Clement will both be given shots to play full time and have plenty of upside left. I’d hold onto Hill. He’s shown this kind of production in the past and plays an extremely shallow position.

Not sure if 2B is shallow anymore

Just look at all the nice bats playing the position. I think 3B is pretty shallow.

Yeah, I would do both of these deals if I could. In a keeper league you’d have Bruce, Gordon, Alonso and Clement – no thinking for me. You’re giving up Aaron Hill for all that? You can get another closer easy.

Position

My only question now is where would Alonso play if he is up next season. This is considerig Vitto is currently playing first

re: yeah

I like the trade for you on both ends, Brian Wilson is only so-so as a “closer type”; and as everyone knows they are easily replaceable if you’re not an elite closer.

Yondor Alonso has superior upside. I do like Aaron Hill, but he is an inconsistent producer, who knows how many HRs he might hit next year?
