Trade Question

[mdevito]

I have been offered Ty Wigginton for Rick Ankiel.

Wigginton has 2b and 3b eligibility in our league and Ankiel has CF and RF. I probably could use the help since I am fairly well stocked in Outfielders, though a lot of them are prospects (Jay Bruce and Justin Upton) who won't produce this year.

Do you think I should hold out on Ankiel for a better player? Or do you think this is a pretty even trade?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had both at various times last season. Willingham will give you solid, if unspactacular numbers. Ankiel COULD take your team on his shoulders and make a run for a few weeks or more. Last year he hit 7 bombs in a little over 100 at bats. Hold on to Ankiel, or wait for a better offer.

Wiggington...not Willingham!

I don't know what to think about Ankiel, He had a solid OPS last year, but he still doesn't have a very large sample size of MLB ABs. He could be solid, or he could end up platooning.

Wiggington is nice due to his position eligibility, and he puts up solid offensive numbers.

I guess to me, it would come down need. What are your other OF options if Ankiel goes? And, do you really need a guy who can play the positions Wiggington does?

This is my current lineup, as you can see I'm pretty outfield heavy(it looks like RF heavy, but really not since those guys shoudl get spread around to C F and LF), but a lot of it is tied up in prospects. I could definitely use Wigginton for his position flexibility, but like you said Ankiel could be huge and already he's putting up really nice ST numbers.

Hang on to him, word out of Cincy is that Patterson will be the starting CF, and Jay Bruce will start the season in AAA until Griffey gets hurt, or they can trade Dunn.
