Overpay for Hanley?

Postby Chicago RedSox » Sun Apr 05, 2009 10:34 pm

10 Team, H2H, Yahoo, 8x8 (H,R,RBI,BB,SB,K,TB,AVG // IP,W,SV,ER,K,BB,WHIP,ERA)

I gave up Longoria, Haren, and Gregg for Hanley and Gordon.

My team before:
C-Martin
1-Pujols
2-Kendrick
3-Longoria
S-A.Ramirez
OF-Manny, McLouth, Cruz, Milledge, Burrell, Eithier
Util-Ortiz

SP-Timmy, Haren, Gallardo, R.Johnson, Kershaw, Jiminez
RP-Gregg, Lindstrom

My Team Now:
C-Martin
1-Pujols
2-A.Ramirez, Kendrick
3-Gordon
S-Hanley
OF-Manny, McLouth, Cruz, Milledge, Burrell, Eithier
Util-Ortiz
SP-Timmy, Gallardo, R.Johnson, Kershaw, Jiminez, Maholm
RP-Hanrahan, Lindstrom
DL-Smoltz, Escobar

I'm hoping to replace Haren's (my #5 pick) stats with Escobar, and I picked Gregg up off the wire with the intention of trading him (Cubs Homers League). Our league settings lean toward fast leadoff types that hit for average, hence my move for Hanley. I don't know why, but I have had a bad feeling about Longoria (my #2 pick) ever since I drafted him. I'm also keeping an eye on Penny as a replacement for Maholm. And I plan to drop an OF or two by late May, once they have sorted themselves out, and replace them top notch MR's to bring down my averages.

I know I overpaid, but how bad do you think it was? I know have the #1 and #2 picks.

I don't think you really overpaid. Sure you gave up a lot but you got Hanley and a good player with high upside in Gordon. I like the deal and would have done it too. Nice deal.

please help
