Fantasy baseball trade...Price/Maybin for Wainwright/Hunter?

Okay here is the offer:

Player #1 ships David Price and Camerin Maybin to #2

Player #2 sends Adam Wainwright and Torii Hunter to #1

Obviously player one has the guys with potential and player 2 has guys who have produced although not at an elite level. At this point we know Price is a lock to get a spot in the Rays rotation and Maybin will be given every chance to be the leadoff hitter for the Marlins.

Wainwright was basically the ace for the Cards, won 11 games with solid ERA & Whip but did see time on the DL. Hunter has been slotted as the #4 hitter for the Angels behind Vlad. So as a fantasy player which player would you think gets the better of the deal and please explain why you feel that way. I will award 10 points for the best good answer (the trade doesnt affect me and I have no bias one way or the other). Deal is a freinds and I have thoughts (not strong ones though either way) but want him to see what others might think.

    Price will be lucky to keep his 2009 ERA under 5.00 when you consider he's moving from the bullpen to the rotation.

    It's virtually impossible to predict how much of an impact Maybin will have in fantasy in 2009, much like it's impossible to predict how his team will fare in the NL East in 2009.

    If Wainwright can stay away from the DL, he's a lock for 15+ wins with an ERA hovering around 3.00 and a decent WHIP. That kind of production is much better than even the best-case scenario for Price in 2009.

    Hunter is among the few players who is capable of contributing to all 5 standard hitter categories (runs, HRs, RBIs, SBs, and batting average). Maybin might reach that level as early as 2010, but he won't in 2009.

    In 2009, the player getting Wainwright and Hunter is getting the better end of the deal. In 2010, the deal might end up being a fair one. In 2011, it's possible that the player getting Price and Maybin is getting the better end of the deal (although I certainly don't want this to be the case if Price hasn't changed teams between now and then).

    I'm guessing this isn't a keeper league. Player #1 gets the better return. In 1 year formats, it is generally better to trust proven track records. That said, I also really don't see Maybin offering much. Nor do I see Price pitching more than 150 innings.

    i like enjoying delusion Baseball. Yahoo makes it somewhat hardship-free to play, extremely for novices. My superb suggestion is whilst finding for a league to connect, decide for one which announces novices welcome. often the folk who're in those leagues are greater suitable than happy to assist new gamers. be cautious nevertheless, as a results of fact some will attempt to take earnings for the time of trades. fortuitously, different gamers will often supply up an unfair commerce. With video games being performed prevalent, this is slightly intimidating for novices, yet Yahoo has made this ordinary besides. on your team web page, you may look on the drawing near days and set your roster subsequently. I often look a minimum of 5 days in strengthen and be particular i don't have gamers that are no longer enjoying taking over roster slots. this is somewhat hardship-free to edit them additionally. purely a drag and drop. additionally continually use the help section whilst you're at a loss for words over something. in case you have a clever telephone or pill, working your team is even much less demanding!
