Fielder for Upton?

Postby capitalh » Fri Mar 13, 2009 3:19 pm

Hey all,

I drafted in a 12 Team Yahoo H2H league (11th overall pick) last week. I realized after the draft that I definitely need to upgrade in the power department. I think I have a fast enough team where I could let Upton go and still have almost average speed.

Someone in my league suggested trading me Fielder for Upton, possibly with other guys involved. While I consider Upton to be worth more than Fielder straight up, based on my team I think it might be more beneficial to make the swap and have a slightly more balanced team.

My league plays the following categories:
R, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, TB, FPCT, AVG, SLG, IP, W, L, CG, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

And my current roster:

Batters
C - Victor Martinez (Cle - C,1B)
1B - Derrek Lee (ChC - 1B)
2B - Ian Kinsler (Tex - 2B)
3B - Chone Figgins (LAA - 2B,3B)
SS - Rafael Furcal (LAD - SS)
OF - B.J. Upton (TB - OF)
OF - Matt Holliday (Oak - OF)
OF - Nelson Cruz (Tex - OF)
Util - Pat Burrell (TB - OF)
Util - Melvin Mora (Bal - 3B)
BN - Alex Gordon (KC - 3B)
BN - Adam Jones (Bal - OF)

Pitchers
SP - Brandon Webb (Ari - SP)
SP - Scott Kazmir (TB - SP)
RP - Jonathan Broxton (LAD - RP)
RP - Frank Francisco (Tex - RP)
P - Zack Greinke (KC - SP)
P - Max Scherzer (Ari - SP,RP)
P - Justin Duchscherer (Oak - SP)
BN - David Purcey (Tor - SP)
BN - Kenshin Kawakami (Atl - SP)
BN - Andy Sonnanstine (TB - SP)

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

i would stay put. you already have some power(lee, holliday, and burrell) and a good amount of speed. i think that your roster is fine the way it is.

Help? thanks
