NFT: FBB: Would you trade Machado for Betts

superspynyg : 3/29/2023 2:43 pm

So i wound up drafting 3 good 3rd basemen (Machado rd2, Reilly rd3 and Bregman rd 7) i am light at OF and 2b. Betts had eligibility at both.
Would you trade Machado for Betts?
My team
C Conteras
1b Vlad G
2b Cronenworth
Ss Donovan (Cronenworth can play ss)
3b Machado
OF Jimenez
OF Kwan
OF Bryant
Util Reilly
Util Bregman
Bn Altuve, Brantly, Volpe, JD Martinez

Categories for hitters are 1b, 2b, 3b, runs, rbis, hr, avg, obp, sb, walks
Alltuve out till June, Brantley out till May.

Would you offer this?

I probably would

For the 2B eligibility alone

I would do it.

The scarcity at 2B is crazy this year, especially for the early part of the season with Altuve out. To get a legitimate OF stud and play him at 2B is huge.

3B isn't that much better in terms of scarcity, but you are dealing from strength there.

Let me ask you this.

If you drafted Betts over Machado, you would trade Betts for Machado?

Would not

even blink. Absolutely do it.

Yes

You've got 3B covered. OF is scarce. The 2B eligibility is a bonus. Mookie will steal 10 more bases, hit 10 less homers, score 25 more runs and drive in 30 less. You've got the downsides covered with the other guys.
