Sabathia for Holliday

Postby Sotomotives » Tue Apr 07, 2009 8:03 pm

I've been offered Sabathia for Holliday straight up. I think I have the OF depth and can survive without Holliday, plus there is questions whether he can hit away from Coors and if he will steal 28 bases again. On the other hand Sabathia looked pretty bad in his first start.

What do you guys think?

12 Team H2H

my current roster:

C Mike Napoli
1B Adrian Gonzalez
2B Chase Utley
3B Chris Davis
SS Stephen Drew
OF Matt Holliday
OF Matt Kemp
OF Carlos Lee
Utility Nate McClouth

SP Yovani Gallardo
SP Joba Chamberlain
RP Matt Capps
RP Frank Francisco
P Javier Vazquez
P Scott Baker
P Jason Motte

DL Scott Baker

BN 3B Alex Gordon
BN SS Miguel Tejada
BN 2B Placido Polanco
BN SP Randy Johnson
BN SP Nick Adenhart

I will start off by saying that I prefer the stud hitter compared to the stud pitcher, but I like this deal for you. You team can take the moving of Holliday, and CC makes your rotation go from very good to great, in the h2h format.
I will be honest and mention I am leery on CC's stamina/injury possibility for the future, but that part of it is up to you as far as your projections for him. Holliday most likely will not run as much as last year, but he is a pure hitter, so that won't stop.
If you make this deal, I strongly recm you move one of your mid-level SPs + a bench throw-in for a stronger util guy. Or, just find the next McLouth on the WW. :-b

Sabathia was brutal last April aswell, but went on to be great.
you can lose Holliday and still be good. you can move McLouth to OF and Gordon to UT. i think Gordon is going to have his best season yet and ready to break it.
Sabathia makes your rotation great as mentioned.
id do it.


help?

I'd go for it. Take advantage of this owner selling CC after just one bad game. ;-D

I'd definitely do it. I think he's being too quick to panic on CC. Take the stud SP.
