Trade Hamilton? Get Ellsbury on the Cheap?

Postby jmcampbe11 » Thu Apr 16, 2009 2:33 pm

I hate to part with Big Josh, but is it worth it for the pitching upgrade? This is a 10 team modified roto keeper league (we keep 3 players starting next season). For context, my three keepers right now would be Sizemore, Hamilton, and Longoria.

GIVE – J.Hamilton, V.Wells (or Ad.Jones), R.Johnson

GET – Quentin, Ellsbury, Danks (or Lester or Garza)

MY TEAM
C-Martin 1b-A.Gonzalez 2b-Phillips ss-O.Cabrera 3b-Longoria CI-Reynolds MI-Alx.Ramirez
OF-Sizemore, Hamilton, Dye, V.Wells, Ad.Jones Util-Cust
SP-Gallardo, Greinke, Nolasco, Lilly, R.Johnson, *Smoltz
RP-Broxton, Qualls, Morrow, Percival, Arredondo, Ray, C.Perez

PS) I know it's early, but I'm dead last in era (team era is almost 6.00!)

Hamilton> Quentin
Well/Jones> Ellsbury
RJ< Danks/LEster/Garza

i think there are better ways to go about getting speed and better pitching. your rotation isn't bad, just off to a slow start. it has the potential to be absolutely fantastic if gallardo and greinke live up to expectations. same goes for nolasco. you're giving up too much, and you don't really need the steals with sizemore, phillips and jones running for you -- they won't win the steals category for you, but they should keep you competitive. ;-D

I think I would have to pass on this one. Josh is much more valuable than what you are getting back in my opinion.

Please help with mine
