Jay Bruce Traded To Kickin Kinslers
It was a landmark day today in the rotoworld dynasty series league as two GM’s linked up for a trade of the ages. When it was all said and done, 7 players changed teams, and the outlook of both teams vastly changed with doing so.
Here is how it broke down:
Ironmike and Brett have agreed to trade Billy Butler, Jay Bruce, Max Scherzer and Michael Bowden to Fontaine for Ryan Howard, Brad Hawpe, Daisuke Matsuzaka, and the 7.99 MiLB pick.
It’s an interesting trade but mutually benifitial. Steve Lamontagne, GM of the Kick’in Kinslers saw a glaring need to bring in someone who can help his BA issue while not dropping off the world in power either. Getting Jay Bruce is a fantastic move according to Steve, as he’s one of the youngster power players in the leagues and can do everything well. He won’t smash 50 HR’s like Ryan Howard will, But really who can? He mentioned he would be happy with Bruce’s 30-35 HR potential and get a +.25 in BA throughout the course of the season.
Mad Max Vs Dice K? Probally could go either way. However with Chad Billingley already torching fontaines WHIP, we will be excited to bring in Mad Max’s low whip. His K ratio is amoung the best in the league and he should prove to be an ace for many season.
Fontaine will miss Brad Hawpe, who is quietly and very good player. Falls under the Radar but shouldn’t as he will give a very solid line every season.
