King Felix or John Lester?!?

Postby TheGhost » Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:47 pm

Wondering which pitcher people would prefer for the upcoming season. Redraft league. I'm trying to decide which one I keep if I decide to trade one. Who is the better fantasy player?

Felix Hernandez or Jon Lester?

I play in a ten team H2H, yahoo league. 12 cats: runs, home runs, RBI, avg., hits, OPS... wins, strikeouts, saves, ERA, WHIP, walks.

3rd: Ryan Zimmerman
SS: Alexei Ramirez (2nd, OF)

Utl: Prince Fielder
BN: Derek Jeter, Elijah Dukes

SP: Jake Peavy, Francisco Liriano, Felix Hernandez, Jon Lester, David Price, Randy Johnson, Erik Bedard, Chien-Ming Wang

Personally, I still feel like Felix has much upside left to tap in to. Lester might not be able to replicate 2008 even if he is a nice pitcher.

I'd deal Lester myself.

PS: Even in a 10 teamer, that's a great roster. Kudos. 3B is the only marginal need I see, and it's not like yours is bad or anything. Lester and Zim for a 3B?

Thanks. Actually, I have a trade offer pending that I just need to accept. It's my Prince and Lester for his Longoria and Big Papi. Should I do that? It would shore up my 3rd base and I would switch Fielder and Papi in my utl. spot.

I like Lester better because he is on a much better team, which means more wins.

I think I do that deal. It would have been better to trade depth for Longoria (meaning anything to keep Fielder over Papi), but I still see that as value.

In a 10 teamer, I'd risk an injury prone UTIL guy; the fall won't be far, and I do think he'll be back strong.

I would keep Felix. Lesters great year last year gives him a bit more trade value which you can capitalize on
