Should I Make This Move??

Postby aravtrain21 » Sat Mar 14, 2009 12:58 am

I am giving up Meche, Doumit, and Javier Vazquez for Jesus Flores, Hunter Pence or Xavier Nady, and Roy Oswalt. I believe this is a good trade. I was thinking that I can start Posada at C and have about the same production as Doumit...plug Pence or Nady into the U slot...and have a consistent Oswalt in my rotation. Maybe I could trade Oliver Perez instead of Meche. Here is a little reference to my team...

14 team H2H league. Scoring is standard offensive for H2H and SB= 2, CS= -1. Pitching: IP= 1, W= 10, L= -5, S= 10, BS= -5, K= 1, BB= -.5, ER= -1, CG= 10, SHO= 10. Please, let me know what you think. WHIR!!!!! Leave a link...

Starting Lineup:
C- Doumit
1B- Votto
2B- Cano
SS- Hardy
3B- Wright
OF- Quentin
OF- Carlos N. Lee
OF- Crawford
U- Adam Jones
SP- Billingsley
SP- Harden
SP- Javier Vazquez
SP- Oliver Perez
SP- Cueto
RP- Jenks
RP- Matt Lindstrom
Reserves:
C- Posada
2B- Orlando Hudson
SS- Furcal
OF- Travis Snider
OF- Spilborghs
SP- Meche
SP- Slowey
SP- Chris R. Young
SP- Tommy Hanson

No. Posada won't match Doumit. Vasquez is a good sp to give up. Nady will be fighting for abs with Cabrera and Swisher.

I would do it. Pence and Oswalt are the 2 best players in the deal to me. I'm no Posada fan, but I still wouldn't pass this up.

It makes a big difference if it's Nady or Pence. I was referring to the Nady option. Pence could replace Jones at UT. I'm just wondering if his team gets better? Vasquez isn't far from Oswalt. Meche is underrated. I would just hate to plug Posada in there everyday.

I agree with the whole nady deal....he will split time. I am trying to offer Oliver Perez instead of Vazquez. My strategy is to load up my offensive players as much as possible so i don't have to change my lineup weekly. Then, depending on the # of starts per week is who i start in my rotation after Billingsley, Harden and Oswalt...Slowey, Young, Cueto, and a waiver option are reasonable choices. What you think peeps?
