I traded away Wander Franco in my 12 team AL Only, and I think I need to talk to someone about it. Please chime in with how dumb you think I am! (but only in this thread, haha)
I mostly dealt Franco as a way of avoiding dealing my MLB-ready farm guys (Chavis, N. Lowe, Y. Alvarez).
C - Jansen $5
C - Severino $1
1B - Voit $3
2B - Villar $31
SS - Mondesi $20
3B - Diaz $8
OF1 - Brantley $19
OF2 - M. Smith $16
OF3 - Grichuk $30
OF4 - T. Hernandez $13
OF5 - Dustin Fowler $4 ---------> JD Martinez $53
CI - Vogelbach $4
MI - Fletcher $7
DH - Moreland $8
Bench - Healy $11
SP1 - Snell $16
SP2 - Clevenger $11
SP3 - Berrios $10
SP4 - Aaron Sanchez $6
P5 - LeClerc $3
P6 - Workman $4
P7 - Biagini $3
P8 - Hudson $1
P9 - Wittgren $1 -----------------> D. Price $17
Bench - 4 more crappy MR's.
As you can see, my pitching is much weaker than my offense. I have a defecit in W & K, and I'm stuck streaming MR's hoping for holds, (SV+HLD format)... but only 2 decent SP's, and a bunch of flotsam.
Trade option #1:
Berrios $10 + W. Franco FOR $53 Stanton + $29 E. Rodriguez + $26 Pham (extendable) + $4 Herrera + $5 Givens
Trade option #2:
W. Franco FOR $53 JD Martinez + $17X D. Price.
Did I make the wrong call? I really wanted Pham, especially for his keeper value, but with my 3 SB studs, Pham's value to me replacing Teoscar Hernandez seems minor. The Berrios loss would have also been a lateral pitching move. I also saved $45 in cap space with the smaller trade. Would you have hung onto Franco no matter what for the time being? Should I have dealt from my 1B glut instead?
Just wanted to share my stressful 2 days for a data point on Franco's trade value at this point in time.
