Help, my pitching stinks! WHIR

Postby BillyHallDisciple » Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:44 am

12-team h2h 6x6 with standard cats + OPS for hitters & K/9 for pitchers. Keeper league, we have $ values attached to players that go up $5 per year w/ a $220 salary maximum.

I went with low-rent pitching in the auction and need to correct it now.

Anyways, one of my more valuable trading chips might be Jay Bruce. One guy's offered me King Felix for him straight up, I'm also looking at dealing Bruce for Cueto to another squad. I also really like Josh Johnson, so which one of these three would you trade Bruce for, or can you think of any other ideas that would improve my pitching?

Will help in return, so leave a link. ;-D 12-team, 6x6 Keeper (w/OPS & K/9 added)

I like King Felix the best there. I wouldn't mind getting Cueto if you can still make that deal happen with another player, but I like Felix the best of those 3.

Help?

Bruce for King Felix isn't a bad option. I would do Cueto because you already have Harang and I'm not sure if you want two Cincy pitchers on the same team.

what is your opinion viewtopic.php?t=380865

Well, the guy with Felix pulled his initial offer and now seems to want a deal with too many strings attached.

He offered Felix, Dave Bush & Chris B. Young (OF) for Bruce, Wieters, and Soria. No thanks (I think that's giving up too much value on my side considering this is keeper).

Another guy did offer me Cueto for Bruce straight-up... fair deal, y'all think?

don't touch that last deal. bruce for hernandez was a good deal, but its gone now. being a keeper league getting cueto is also a nice addition however, he is still young and inconsistent but for the long term is a nice addition (regardless if he plays on cincy)
