Keeper/Trade Help Needed (WHIR)

Postby wheels » Wed Mar 11, 2009 12:07 am

10 team hth keeper (no term limit) league with traditional offensive/pitching categories.

My other keepers are...
DH:Pujols
C:Doumit
1B:Teixeira
2B:Alexi Ramirez (or Cano)
SS:Rollins
3B:Longoria
OF:CLee, McLouth, Bruce (or Mags)
SP:JSantana, Sabathia
RP:Rodriguez (or Lidge/Soria)

Would you trade my FRod & Rollins for his BJ Upton & Tulowitzki?

Leave a link, WHIR for sure!

I would do that deal- even though you are losing K-rod, you can keep Soria instead and B.J. Upton will be a beast in 2 years (not bad this year either). Rollins is getting older, and Troy Tulo will only get better. Although this deal will not help you this year, it will build you for the future and you can compete this year anyway with the team that u have.

Help on mine?

I agree with Weasel_King! I think this trade will ultimately help you in the future, but not as much this year. You already have a great team and this will strengthen it up with players at the beginning of their careers instead of players possibly past their prime.

Thanks for the help on mine!

I'd pull the trigger fast before your opponent posts this same message. You win that easy. Basically, it's B.J. Upton and Tulow for Rollins. The unlimited keeper league thing makes it that much more obvious. Closers are the most expendable position in my book. Good luck!

Definitely do the deal. I have been in a H2H league for 5 years and have come to the conclusion that closers are as close to a punt as there can be. If you can deal a closer away to get two solid offensive players you must make that deal, hell you already have Soria to begin with. The way I see it you are getting the best player in the deal anyways with Upton (keeper nice). Just dont get down on Upton if he start slow.

Agree with what everyone else said. You can make up saves later, and you definitely upgrade elsewhere.

Please help
