Linecum

Postby wkpdpack » Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:03 pm

I was just offered Linecum for Braun. Not willing to deal Braun for him, but what might be a reasonable offer. I thought about trying a 2 for 1. Not sure he'll bite on that though. Keeper league, 5x5 roto scoring

My current team:
C Navarro, Snyder
1B Howard
2B Kinsler
3B Gordon
SS Furcal
MI Aviles
CI Morneua
OF Braun, Kemp, Granderson, Milledge, A. Jones
U Adam LaRoche
P Billingsley, C. Lee, Greinke, Baker, Scherzer, Kuroda, KRod, H. Bell, Percival
Bench: Blanton, McGowan, G. Sanchez
Minor bench: I. Stewart, Rasmus, Fowler, Brignac, Smoak

Offer Howard. If it's a no-go, try adding in a pitcher.

I would keep Braun....pitchers are just too inconsistent and are more of an injury risk.

I think you need SPs. SPs & OFs are a dime a dozen this year. Spilboughs, Dan Murphy, Francoeur, ect. are lying around on the FA. I think Linecum is the real deal.

I think this is the better route. Braun in a keeper is :-L .

I would keep Braun but would trade Howard or Morneau plus a pitcher for Lincecum. But, I wouldn't give up Braun for him. Try Howard and see what the guy says and go from there.

thanks for your help with mine

Yeah like everyone else said I would hold onto Braun. Try dealing Howard for Lincecum. You can then use Morneau at 1b and find a CI.

I'd rather trade Morneau (+ a pitcher?) for pitching and just keep Howard and his 45 HR, 150 RBI in your lineup.

I agree and would keep Braun for sure. You could offer him Howard, but I'd much rather offer him Morneau and decent pitcher like Lee. Not sure if he'd accept, but it could work.

definitely agree with poster above. Morneau for Linecum. If not, then give a scrappy like Mcgowan or something.or + ian stewart. plenty of guys out there to pick up. (kendry morales, ryan spillsborgh etc etc) but not howard. try 1 for 1 and see if he bites.

thanx for help on mine.
