There were many players on fantasy rosters traded (some bigger than others, obviously). So let's have a look at some of the fantasy winners and losers.
Feel free to add your own in the comments section.
Winner: Chris
Hunter Pence goes from a dreadful lineup in Houston to protecting Ryan Howard in Philadelphia. Pence's production should go up.
Loser: Ken
I'm not buying that Beltran has more success in San Fran than New York. The Mets were hitting the ball, and hitting the ball hard. The Giants' offense is putrid. I see this as a negative for Beltran and Ken.
Winner: Adam
Aramis Ramirez doesn't get traded and remains in the friendly confines; Ryan Howard gets major protection in Pence (and explodes this week with him there)
Loser: Adam
B.J. Upton could have been dealt, but instead stays in Joe Maddon's doghouse and the bottom part of the batting order in Tampa Bay.
Winner: Rick
Mike Adams should get more hold opportunities in Texas than San Diego, although he did get his fair share with the Padres as was.
Loser: Dave
Ubaldo Jimenez was dangled and stringed around more than Pinnochio; when it was all said and done, he now has a tougher schedule in Cleveland and he was pulled in the midst of a 1-inning start.
Winner: Joe*
Pitchers thrive under Dave Duncan in St. Louis. Combine that with Edwin Jackson's post-trade deadline resurgence last season and we expect a lot of success with the Cards. *Perhaps this helped negotiations between Joe and Bob in the latest trade?
Loser: Shea
Michael Cuddyer stays in Minnesota, where it's tougher to hit home runs than most other ballparks.
Winner: Jack
Michael Bourn goes from Houston to Atlanta, where he should get more opportunities to score runs. Plus, playing in a bigger ballpark should lead to more doubles and triples.
Loser: Andy
Because all he does is lose. So why would anything at the trade deadline actually help him?
