Add Spilborghs?

Postby BillyHallDisciple » Sun Mar 22, 2009 11:22 pm

Just finished my auction, 12-team 6x6 keeper (standard cats + OPS for hitters, K/9 for pitchers) - Spilborghs went undrafted, he's still sitting out there. Should I drop anyone on my roster for him, such as either Daniel Murphy or Matt LaPorta. I kinda wanted to hang onto LaPorta for when he comes up this season, but Spilborghs seems pretty tempting. (We only have the two bench spots). I also just hopped on the Danny Murphy bandwagon, so it would feel like sacrilege to hop off so quickly. Is Spilborghs gonna end up being worth it?

Might be a slightly silly question (I have never played in a league with a bench) but if you have Martin, do you really need Wieters? Is this a keeper league where he might get value for future years?

Or maybe looking at packaging wieters and maine for a slight upgrade at SP? THat way you free a roster spot, take care of a need and get spilborghs upside?

If you have a chance, take a look at mine (I have spilborghs and murphy - so I hear you).

Yeah, it's a keeper league and I took Wieters 'cause he's supposed to rake once he comes up. At worst I can use him as trade bait. Martin also has 3B/CI eligibility, not a huge deal or anything, but extra roster flexibility. If Wieters is everything he's cracked up to be, I'd be able to deal him no problem of course. I just had to have him regardless of position 'cause he's the #1 hitting prospect.

Good idea though, obviously I need a pitching upgrade as I kind of punted it in the auction.
