Montero vs Jennings vs Heyward

so you’re getting Beckett/Jeter/Heyward/Montero for Ramirez?

I’d want either a younger SP or a better field player than Jeter. As good as Heyward and Montero could be, you’re still giving up the 2nd best fantasy player hands down.

Last year, I gave up Verlander/Reyes/Matsuz for Hanley/Jennings (granted, this is prior to Reyes’s injury and Jennings going nuts).

I think you’re getting below market value. I believe people should pay a premium for certain players (generally Pujols, Lincecum, Ramirez, Arod) because they are so much better than the guys who are behind them in positional rankings let alone overall rankings.

Jennings over Heyward doesn’t make sense in a points league. There are more points for HR/RBI than SB… both will be within 10-15 runs of each other on an average year, so that’s not too much of a difference.

If Montero were a surefire catcher like Mauer, McCann, Martinez, then I’d say sure it’s possible, but since he’s probably going to be a DH, and has already been stated that he would be used as a DH, he has less value. With Granderson already at CF, there is less need for Jennings.

Regardless, Jennings value is considerably less in a points league than that of Heyward.

would you take Jennings over Heyward? I could see a case for Heyward over Montero or Jennings over Montero, but it’s absurd to take Heyward over Jennings…

I’m a huge Jennings fan, and I’m saying that I wouldn’t do it. I believe it’s absurd…

in this situation I believe that your question is absurd.

Perhaps rereading the post above- he has Mauer at C (who I would trade because I think this is as high as Mauer’s value ever gets in FANTASY POINTS LEAGUES) and would exclusively use Montero at DH (who might not see time in the show this year consistently or until perhaps the end of the season). Heyward and Jennings are both guaranteed playing time this season, so it becomes a matter of who would produce more in avg/runs/hr/rbi/sb overall. I believe Heyward is the better overall player and will produce more this season and probably beyond barring major injury in terms of fantasy. Jennings value lies in him being a CF (where he already has Granderson); however, in most points leagues, SB’s maintain less value. This makes Jennings value drop. There is no defensive value in most fantasy leagues so that’s moot.

You understand we’re talking about a fantasy trade here so my opinion makes more sense as to where your silly comment makes you look like more of an ass.
