AFB: Marlins/Rays Trade

[snbts]

Marlins trade
Hanley Ramirez SS

To Tampa Bay for
David Price P

[snbts]

With the Astros GM leaving and not being able to work out a deal with him, I was able to work out a deal with the Rays.

We (Miami) are trading a power bat for a power pitcher who is locked up for several good years at a cheap price.  With Josh Johnson and Price we have a terrifice 1-2 punch to help compete in the NL east with the Phillies.  In a short series, we have a great chance of taking anyone.  We are also clearing $15 million off the payroll to make a run at a few veteran free agents who can bring a championship attitude to our young club.  With entering our new stadium next year, we are looking at returning to the post season and adding to our World Series hardware.

Tampa Bay accepts.  With so many young, power arms in the pipeline, we felt we could afford the loss of Price to acquire a bat like HanRam's.  With tons of cap space over the next few years, taking on his salary was a non-factor in the decision making process.  Losing a stud like Price is definitely going to hurt, but with an already solid 2-5 staff and top pitching prospect Matt Moore on deck, we feel like this was a must-make move for us. 

Thanks to the Marlins for reaching out and for making the talks quick and easy.

Any T C Members in this league.  Just curious if it is a bat heavy scoring league or pretty even.

Right, the league scoring might swing my vote.  Though, given Hanley's salary and my previously stated opinion on him, I'm likely to approve either way.  Would still like to know, though.  If this was New Era, for instance, which is a points matchup league, Hanley is FAR more valuable than Price.

Can someone please provide the fantasy points by year for 2009-11 for both players?

[MillerTime]

I have asked the commissioner and two managers to supply scoring data.  I know Hanley makes 15m, but can't what value Price is at.  It states clearing 15m, so Price must be minimal.

Givin the scoring system (odd that K's are not a part of it)

I do approve this trade!

[Rob]

So, on average pitchers score less than half of what hitters score overall?  Maybe I'm understanding that wrong?  Or maybe my math is bad, lol...

I mean, it makes sense for a points league assuming there's no strict IP limit.  But, that makes Davis severely less valuable. 

Sorry to be a pain in the butt but if we could see point totals for those 2 players it would be helpful.
