Ellsbury for Dunn....WHIR

Postby jlm53089 » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:03 pm

In my 10 team 5X5 ROTO, I was offered Dunn for Ellsbury.

I have speed in Ichiro and Figgins and power in Cabrera and Morneau.
But it never hurts to have more.

Does this deal sound solid, or should I ask for more?

Thanks

Ok, let me start out by saying that Dunn is my starting first baseman. If you truly want to add another power bat Dunn is the guy for you, he has hit exactly 40 homers in each of the last 3 seasons. Obviously the downfall is the batting average, if you have a bunch of mid-high average guys on your squad than you can afford to deal with Dunn's .240 BA. I don't know who is on your team but if you want some guys who could provide you with some power (maybe not as much as Dunn,) but with a better average, check out, Votto, Chris Davis, Nelson Cruz, or grab Kendry Morales from the WW. Good luck!

its tough without seeing your whole roster. personally the 40hr are nice from dunn but that AVG is going to kill you. you could get a carlos quentin type for ellsbury if you really need power and at least he wouldn't kill you in a category. i think i'd hold onto ellsbury for now.

would you mind seeing mine?

I think Ellsbury will improve with the full tim ejob and put up some monster numbers, do I'd go Ellsbury, but it does depend on what else you need.

Help if you can!

It always seems easier to get HRs than Stls of the WW so go with Ellsbury

I guess I'm just an Adam Dunn fan but as easy as HR are he'll give you a hell of a lot... I'd go with Dunn and take the hit on Batting average.. plus dunn will get BB if that will help your team
