Is Ryan Braun worth Bobby Abreu and Rick Porcello?

[berniebrewer4life]

Hard to say.

 

Abreu put up solid numbers last year, .825 OPS with 15 HRs and 103 RBI, but he's also going to be 36 this season, and could drop off dramaticly. But i don't think that will happen. He has had over 100 RBI each of the last 8 years.

 

Porcello is a little harder to call. He had decent numbers, but there is no track record of him really. He could pull a Dontrelle and just go straight to bad, or he could continue to produce and, (because of his age) actually get better this year.

 

If this is a keeper league, i say no. Braun will continue to put up great numbers for a couple of years. If this is a one year thing, maybe, but i would counter with a better pitcher. Sorry i am not much help, hopefully someone with more experience can help you out more.

Braun is worth a lot more than Abreu and Porcello. Porcello looked good last year but he's still has a ways to go. If you were to trade Braun you should be getting at least one elite player in return.

Whoever this guy is, he's not a very poor fantasy baseball manager. It always amazes me how often managers get suckered into accepting 2 for 1 trades like this. In the vast majority of fantasy trades, he who gets the best player wins the trade, especially when it involves a top 5-10 player. I've played fantasy sports a long time and never ever have accepted a single 2 for 1 trade like the one above.
