Should I pick up Wieters, have R. Martin WHIR

Postby bsfskulls666 » Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:12 pm

Wieters just got dropped. Should I pick him up and use Martin as trade bait 2 months from now? Also, who should I drop to stash him for the time being?

C: Martin
1B: M. Cabrera, Votto
2B: Utley
3B: Chipper, Zimmerman
SS: K. Greene
OF: Crawford, Granderson, Abreu, J. Upton, Maybin
SP: Felix, Lester, Vazquez, Garza, Jurgens
RP: Wilson, Francisco, Ziegler, Gregg

Thanks!

How big is your bench and who is on it currently?

Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

Standard Yahoo league (except scoring changes of TB and OBP instead of HR and AVG).

5 bench spots, currently with Upton, Votto, Maybin and the 2 extra relievers.

I'm not ready to hop on the Weiters bangwagon yet but if you want him I would either drop Maybin or one of your weaker closers for him.

Help?

I probably wouldn't tie up the bench spot but if you want to and think you can get good value out Martin in six weeks or so, then I guess I would drop Maybin or Ziegler.

There's no one to drop unless you want to cut one of your closers. The best case for you would be to swing a 2 for 1 deal to open up a bench spot, then pick up Wieters.

Drop Ziegler immediately and pick up Wieters. He will be Longoriaesque by the end of the season. I also think the Baltimore will struggle with Zaun catching so Wieters might be up a little earlier than expected!

I would try to swing a 2 for 1 deal immediately, and grab wieters, but if thats not possible i would drop ziegler for him. I mean hes the best hitting prospect right now and hes a Catcher. I think martin will remain atop the catchers leaderboards for a while, so moving him after wieters gets called up would be a great idea ;-D
