My Soria for His Dukes?

Postby StringerBell » Sun Mar 22, 2009 9:03 pm

12 Team Keeper League
Rotisserie 4 X 4 AVG HR SB RP W S ERA WHP
2600 Payroll Bringing 11 Keepers to the Draft Table

OK---I know E DUKES is a HUGE GAMBLE with a HUGE Upside. I think I`m just getting too greedy here.
I think my Original 11 is pretty Solid. Is it worth the Gamble on Dukes? But Ive got visions of entering the Draft with 7 20+/20+ guys already on my roster!!!

My Present 11 Keepers
C R Martin 150
3b Chipper 120
2B B Phillips 150
MI A Ramirez 70
OF Sizemore 150
OF Kemp 150
OF MClouth 110
P Soria 150
P Broxton 70
P Devine 50
P Guthrie 10

Dukes is 50. I could replace Soria with Capps for 100 and drop Guthrie.

I'd hang onto Soria, I don't think Dukes gives you enough value in return. He's got some talent, but his BA will probaby be low and he's injury-prone & of course has had off-field problems before. If you like risk I'd say sure, but I would hope you could get more of a sure thing if you're dealing Soria.

I like Soria - Dukes is not exactly the most reliable guy around

Thanks for the quick response people. You definitely validated my own gut feeling.

Now.........our league does not use Ks

so Should I maybe keep Capps instead of Guthrie just so I dont have to even think about Saves at the Draft table?

As someone who kept closers and didn't have to even think about saves at the draft table today, I must say it was a damn good feeling.
