Tulo/Trumbo/J.Zimmerman for Votto/Bumgarner

[josofosky]

I have been offered Votto(27) and Bumgarner(11) for my Tulo(33), Trumbo(7) and J. Zimmerman(9)

My team and rules and lower. Our auction is a couple weeks away and the SS available aren't very good so I would need to use Cozart or Segura. I am wondering if I am crazy about rejecting this! Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Is Bumgarner any better than Zimmerman?

Yes, Bumgarner is better than Zimmermann, but no, you're not crazy for rejecting this. SS is very shallow. In fact, I would not do this trade if I were you. Tulowitzki is a beast, and when compared to other SS, a super beast.

Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy for wanting to reject the offer, watchingthegame! LOL

You can probably count on Tulo missing time every season. Votto is basically a lock for 300 avg 20 hr and 100 RBI. J.Zimm will win more games than bumgarner and has already been through tommy john whereas it is on the horizon for bumgarner and his slider possibly. Trumbo played over his head last year but will still be a solid source of power and rbi production.

Boy, that's awfully tempting. However I would need shortstop back if I were considering that deal.
