I was just offered Zambrano and Corey Hart for my Cain and Adam Dunn. 12 team roto, points are-SBs, runs, rbi, total bases, obp, kd9, wins, whip, era, saves. My team is=
Soto, Geovany C Loney, James 1B Ramirez, Alexei 2B Longoria, Evan 3B TB Scutaro, Marco SS TOR Lee, Carlos N. LF HOU Hunter, Torii CF ANA Cruz, Nelson R. RF TEX Dunn, Adam LF WAS Dukes, Elijah RF WAS
Cain, Matt SP SF Gallardo, Yovani SP MIL Haren, Dan SP ARI Kershaw, Clayton SP Vazquez, Javier SP ATL Qualls, Chad RP ARI Wilson, Brian RP SF
Reserve Batters Cabrera, Orlando SS OAK Drew, Stephen SS ARI Spilborghs, Ryan RF COL Lind, Adam LF TOR
Reserve Pitchers Parra, Manny SP Sanchez, Jonathan O. SP SF
The only reason I wasnt sure is cause I am dead last in SBs and was last in runs untill the last couple days I am now is about 7th in runs, and not far behind others. But still not sure, harts speed is tempting and Dunn being in washingtons offense is tad scarey. (SBs are only half points also)
Dunn in an OBP league is a thirst tier OF, which is very valuable. Inversely, Hart and his .299 obp last year (YUK) falls all the way to the 6th or 7th tier. With Cain and Zambrano roughly equals (personally, I like Cain better), the deal isn't even close.
Don't give up .100 pts in OBP and 20 homers just to get 20 steals.
Wow, if SBs are only 1/2 point, I would punt them. I would much rather have Cain than Zambrano, and I wouldn't worry about Dunn. The anemic National offense has not hurt his production yet. I like Hart, but not for what you'd have to give up. If you really want SBs, I'm sure you could find someone on waivers that will provide that stat.
I have liked Hart since having him as a rookie, but I think people tend to overrate him (including me), and I think Cain will have a big year, so agree with above posters.
Can you help with mine (don't know how to post link but posts near yours)? Thanks.
