I don't think he's expected to miss half the season more like 4-6 weeks so I'd probably sit tight.

Keeper or non Keeper? I'd do it in a roto league, where the games Arod will miss would hurt you. I'd pull the trigger in pretty much any format though.

I can see an argument for this trade in non-keeper Roto but in H2H you can survive for 6 weeks.

in a non-keeper, h2h... i'd sit tight on arod... you can find a quality replacement to sub the first 6 weeks.

look at mine?

Don't panic. Hold tight. Arod has a lot to prove this year.

ya and he'll either come through or crack under the pressure. my bet is his emotions will get in the way. he's gone through too much garbage this off-season and his head is never on straight.

even if he does come through, given the amount of time hell be out him and longoria will put up close to the same numbers.

i made the deal, i can't stand having my team rely on arod
