Trade Help - WHIR

Postby nathanr062684 » Sat Feb 28, 2009 1:37 pm

I am contemplating trading Dice K and Lackey for Prince Fielder and Brian Wilson. It's a 12 team H2H league.

I am a strong believer that pitchers are easy to find where as finding a bat like a Prince Fielder on the wire is almost impossible to do.

I also use a strategy of pitch and ditch where I am not afraid to use the wire to find pitchers with a specific good match-up.

If I am to accept this deal it'd hurt my pitching staff no doubt, but as stated above I usually play match-ups with pitchers on the wire.

My line-up AFTER the trade would look like this...

C-Dioner Navarro
1B- Prince Fielder
2B- Chase Utley
3B- Miguel Cabrera
SS- Jhonny Peralta
OF- Manny Ramirez
OF- Jacoby Ellsbury
OF- Jay Bruce
Util- Adrian Gonzalez

Bench- Chris Davis

I could always look to trade Davis/Gonzalez for a starting pitcher or two.

SP-Vazquez, Greinke, Bedard, Garza, Meche, Hughes, Smoltz

RP-Bell, Francisco, Wilson, Balfour

What should I do?

You already have very good hitting... you don't need the HR and RBI. Keep Dice-K and Lackey... actually if you can trade Dice-K for someone like billingsley or Liriano. do it.

I would never deal offense for pitching. Pitching is plentiful if you know where to look. If you have to trade Davis, he's just gonna rot on your bench anyway.
