Manny and Braun for Vlad? fantasy trade advice

[splitterpfj]

OK all you Brewer Homers...I have Vlad, I've been offered Manny and Braun.

 

Yes/No? Sell me.

[Houlie24x]

It depends on how many teams are in the league and who you currently have at 3rd or utility spots. I would pass unless you have a really weak starter in one of those spots.

[splitterpfj]

3B is not an issue, this would be about UT.

[TooLiveBrew]

I think that just doing Manny for Vlad is a lateral move, so any additions from Braun are a throw-in. Since D counts zilch in most fantasy leagues, this deal looks even better.

 

Yes. Act now before the proposer realizes what a dumb move this is...

[GAME05]

seems a wash to me, too. which one's usually the better second-half player?

[Houlie24x]

Who do you have at utility?

[splitterpfj]

Just picked up Greg Dobbs for UT, no one had taken him yet.

[pogokat]

is it a keeper league?

If it's not a keeper league, I would definitely keep Vlad. He is the best player in the deal. I'm sure there are plenty of guys who will put up as good, or better, numbers than Braun this year that are on the waiver wire.
