Getting Lance Berkman for Clayton Kershaw

[BallDontLie]

I got proposed a trade in my Fantasy league and Im thinking of taking it because im currently first in Wins but Im already close to my IP limit so I gotta cut back on my pitching somehow. Its my first time dong fantasy baseball so I didn't even know there was a limit on IP and now im in trouble cause i got over a 100 more IP than anybody else My power numbers are low and I need XBH, HR, and average. Clayton is 6-3 with a 2.62 era and 87 K's this year while Lance is batting .333 with 12 HRs and 39 RBI and 21 extra base knocks.


Is this a good trade for me or what?

[Jrod124]

no it isn't a good trade for you. Lance is only going to go down after a hot start. Get someone at least who has been struggling like a Choo or someone with big upside. Berkman has been doing it with smoke and mirrors

In my honest opinion I wld hold on to Clayton, maybe trade another one of your pitchers

[JDUB07]

No, this is exactly what you shouldn't do in fantasy. You'll be paying for Berkman's hot start. The key to fantasy trades is buying when a players stock is very low.

Nobodys stock is lower than Adam Dunn

What they said ^

Lance will probably end up on the DL or hit a wall later in the year. Sorta like Vladi did last year. Go after someone younger.

[BallDontLie]

thanks guys. Adam Dunn is a FA in my league right now. Ill pick his ass up then

[Saunders FTW]

I dont know I think the kind of production that Lance currently produces will plummet. Stick with Kershaw, he is as close to a sure thing as there is

[Stallion]

You can get somebody better than Berkman he is a big ? for the 2nd half of this year.

Have only played fantasy BB a couple of times, but the leagues I was in, the IP was a minimum not a maximum.

depends on who berkman would start over
