Soriano for Kinsler?

Postby marsrover21 » Sat Apr 04, 2009 8:53 pm

5x5 keeper. My team this year is in need of stolen bases. I am looking for a place to upgrade and don't think Soriano is a 30/30 guy anymore, plus I'm worried about him staying healthy. Would you make this deal if you were me? Would you trade Soriano for Brian Roberts? Kemp? Who else should I target? I would probably want a potential keeper in return. Team pasted below.

Andrus is a solid SB threat for you this year. Play him over Freddy Sanchez. In fact I'd dump him.

Post ww players and prospects please (please look well through your FA pages).

Soriano might be on the decline but I wouldn't deal him for another aging option (like Roberts). I'd look to take up Eric Young Jr or Jemile Weeks in the minors if your allowed free keeper rookie selections. Lest you forget, Lopez is an underrated player at 2b.

These are the notable SB threats on the wire. The thing I am concerned with other than SBs is my AVG. It looks a little low to me. Another reason to consider trading Soriano. Also, I seem very solid in HRs.

Mike Cameron
Juan Pierre
Clint Barmes
Jason Bartlett
César Izturis
Rajai Davis
Eugenio Velez
Joey Gathright

No "free" spots are allowed for minors.

Deeper please, not just SB threats.

You gotta hold onto Soriano. You wouldn't be getting enough back.

Is there someone in particular you're thinking of? It's a pain to cut and paste.

I'd drop Freddy Sanchez for Mike Cameron, who can get you that 20/20 season still.
