Pedroia for Soriano....WHIR

Postby Zhangman1 » Tue Feb 03, 2009 2:53 pm

I was offered an offseason trade of Soriano and Zambrano for Pedroia in a keeper. Zambrano seems to be a throw in b/c we only get to keep 4.

This seems like a no-brainer in that Soriano's numbers seem better than Pedroia's in everything but avg. My only concerns are Soriano's age, and that Pedroia plays 2B, where depth is hard to find.

WHIR

Below is my team, so far I'm keeping Wright & Pujols obviously
Batters
C - Pablo Sandoval (SF - C,1B,3B)
1B - Albert Pujols (StL - 1B)
2B - Dustin Pedroia (Bos - 2B)
3B - David Wright (NYM - 3B)
SS - Troy Tulowitzki (Col - SS)
OF - Chris Young (Ari - OF)
OF - Shane Victorino (Phi - OF)
OF - Ryan Doumit (Pit - C,OF)
Util - Brad Hawpe (Col - OF)
BN - Nick Markakis (Bal - OF)

Pitchers
SP - Todd Wellemeyer (StL - SP,RP)
SP - Ervin Santana (LAA - SP)
RP - B.J. Ryan (Tor - RP)
RP - Matt Lindstrom (Fla - RP)
P - Joel Hanrahan (Was - SP,RP)
P - Fernando Rodney (Det - RP)
P - George Sherrill (Bal - RP)
P - Jonathan Sanchez (SF - SP,RP)
BN - Chris Young (SD - SP)
BN - Francisco Liriano (Min - SP)
BN - Javier Vazquez (CWS - SP)
BN - Ubaldo Jimenez (Col - SP)

Ditto.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.

I would keep Pedroia and keep him along with 2 mentioned and Markakis. Mainly because I think outfield is deep, and you can keep Pedroia much longer than Soriano.

I think I would keep Pedroia. Looking further down the line, I think Pedroia will provide more value.

It isn't deep when you have to fill 5 of spots, it probably becomes then, one of the weakest.

Soriano for me.
