Again, depends on your keeper league... Playing for the future is not always the best strategy in keeper leagues...

I'm 4-4 right now and currently losing this week

If your team is totally out of it this season, then it was a good trade... If you have any Chance, then I don't love it...

at 4-4 you are still playoff bound... I don't love the trade for you...

We've seen his team. It isn't strong. Sano and Giolito will help way more in the future than Quintana will now.

I know... But it is strong enough to be 4-4... you don't quit on a season where you can still win... even if the odds are against ya... there are ways to fight back...

How is moving Quintana for Sano quitting?

Quintana is having a CY season... Sano is having a replaceable season... Hitting .236 AND being on Minnesota is not helping... even if he has 11 HRs...

Yeah... like you said, regression is due. I like that Sano has 30 walks. As for CY, well Quintana's teammate makes that statement moot.

Yes the walks are a huge plus. But he also leads baseball in strike outs. Not sure if that is a good thing or not though.

We will see. But right now Sano is a bench player and Quintana is at worst a SP2

The point of trades. If Sano was hitting his upside, do you think he would be traded (straight up, let alone with Giolito) for Quintana? Not a chance.

So I didn't mess up?

I think it is a solid trade. Not as high on Sano as I was before the season, but I do think Quintana is playing a bit over his head. You simultaneously bought low on Sano, sold high on Quintana and acquired a high level prospect in the process.

Your buddy is upset because Quintana is playing like a stud now, but two months ago we were drafting Sano 5-7 rounds higher than Quintana for a reason. Values change and this trade is risky for you, but I think it could work out in your favor.

It is when your team is not that good. Stop talking in riddles man!

Yes he is doing very well right now but not getting any luck in the "w" column

Wasn't a riddle... I think the biggest mistake owners in keeper leagues do is to play for 5 years into the future...
Things change so quick that it just never works out... And in this league in particular he is ONLY keeping 8 players and minor leaguers count to that 8 players... that is very little keepers to think about anything more than NEXT season...

What is worse is that he is 4-4, so he is not even out of the playoff race yet... thinking about the future in late may-early june when you can still make the playoffs(as unlikely as it can be), it just reads to soon to me... I would have rather seen a quintana for Greinke type trade... one that helps for the future, and for NOW...
