2nd thoughts about rejecting this offer

Postby Tenacious D-Store » Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:50 pm

Yesterday I drafted in a 20 team 5x5 roto league. In my opinion I have the best team in the league despite being a little light on power over all, It's a deep league. I shot down this offer because I am very satisfied with having 3 quality closers (something no other team has) and with having Zimmerman at 3rd compared to the trash some people got stuck with. My MI is a bit week but some people did far worse and I refused to fall into an early MI run. I'm re-thinking this offer I just rejected, Fielder would have been great in my INF spot or Utility and E Santana is better than a very risky Harang. Should I re-offer it to him?

I was offered
Prince Fielder
Dallas McPherson
Ervin Santana
Anthony Reyes

For
Ryan Zimmerman
Casey Kotchman
Jonathan Broxton
Aaron Harang

Here's my team and a screen shot showing 6 teams at random just to have something to compare to.

I would take it. Fielder is the best guy in deal, with Santana 2nd. You beef up your power a lot, you get 3 aces in your staff now. You still have 2 closers, so you're still ok there in a 20 team league. 3 probably would have been overkill. You really only take a big hit a 3B, but the pluses make that a minor concern.

Reyes and McPherson were the real turn off for me. Maybe I can rework it a bit, Zimmerman is probably his main target. I don't think I can take him out of the equation.
