Trade Analysis: Entrekin vs Sadow
Ellis-Stevens has Sadow. Evaluating a trade to acquire Entrekin.
Trade Analysis
Entrekin has the edge on spring scores (34 vs 31), especially in throwing (7 vs 5) and pop-ups (6 vs 5). She's also a year older and already played in the Minors division. Sadow is younger (moving UP from Rookie league), has summer eval data showing all 6s across the board, and played every position on the field during summer.
Entrekin doesn't have summer data, which means we only have one evaluation period to go on. Sadow has two seasons of data (spring 31, summer 30) showing consistency but no growth between seasons.
Key Advantages — Entrekin (Acquiring)
- Higher spring coach score — 34 vs 31 (+3 points)
- Stronger throwing — 7 vs 5 (+2 points, biggest gap)
- Better pop-ups — 6 vs 5 (+1 point)

- Defined positions — 2B and OF (knows her spots)
Key Advantages — Sadow (Trading Away)
- Extreme versatility — played all 7 positions in summer (P, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF)
- Two seasons of data — spring (31) + summer (30), consistent performer
- Younger — more growth runway at age 9
- No competing sports — 100% softball focus
Bottom Line
Trading Sadow for Entrekin upgrades your spring skill scores by 3 points overall, with the biggest gain in throwing (+2). You lose versatility (Sadow plays everywhere) and summer data, but you gain a player who's already proven at the Minors level with stronger individual skill ratings.
