Halladay for Utley

Postby ThatDude » Wed Mar 04, 2009 9:44 pm

12 team roto keeper league.

My roster as it looks right now :

C -
1B - Prince
2B - Kinsler
SS -
3B - Chipper
LF - Manny
CF -
RF - Abreu
UTIL - Utley
UTIL -

SP - Haren
SP - E. Santana
RP - Valverde
RP -
P - Gallardo
P -
P -
P -


I could deal one of my 2B's without creating a massive hole for myself, and no doubt Halladay is a top-tier SP. But I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger on this.

He's also got Lincecum, and I think I'd feel better about that.

I bet you could get a guy like Manny or Quentin for Utley. Shop him around a bit more. I'd actually wait til the season starts and Utley starts to shine, you're selling low right now.

you're selling very low. I'd actually prefer Utley over Kinsler going forward (and most likely this year, we'll know more about health as it gets closer).

Lincecum would make me think, but that unless I really needed the arm I'd look at bats.

I'd wait to trade Utley until he show's he's healthy and can play so you can get full value for him. I would never trade Utley for a pitcher anyway. If it wasn't for his health issues, he's a first round pick early second rounder tops.....Is this where you view Halladay?

No. You've got a solid start at SP where you shouldn't be dealing Utley.

Oh Jeez, I thought it was Holliday. You're selling lower than I originally thought.

I was thinking I needed a solid ace guy in my rotation.....

As for his bats, he's got Hanley, Hamilton, and Braun. Probably can't get Hanley, but I might be able to pry one of those OF from him.
