Help me please - I need a third baseman - WHIR

Postby theinflatinator91 » Tue Apr 28, 2009 5:31 pm

First of all this is a yahoo league. 10 teams and h2h. It is very fun. 15 by 15.

Categories are as follows - R, H, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, TB, E, AVG, OBP, SLG, PA, IP, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, H, ER, BB, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, K/9, QS

Here is my team:
C Bengie Molina
1B Lance Berkman
2B Brian Roberts
3B Mike Lowell
SS Jason Bartlett (just picked up to fill in for HanRam)
OF Carlos Lee
OF Jason Bay
OF Curtis Granderson
Util Jayson Werth
Util Corey Hart
BN Hanley Ramírez
BN Aaron Hill
BN Justin Upton
BN Matt Wieters

SP Justin Verlander
SP Yovani Gallardo
SP Ted Lilly
SP Kevin Millwood
SP Scott Richmond (streaming spot)
RP Francisco Cordero
RP Frank Francisco
P Brian Wilson
P Clayton Kershaw
BN Roy Oswalt
BN Jordan Zimmermann
DL John Lackey

I have Lowell (who has been red hot ). I don't really like having two players from the same team. Also he is batting seventh in the line-up and the RBIs wont keep coming like they are. I would really like a stud. David Wright is a guy who I would love to nab as is Miggy. Both are kind of struggling now. Who should I try to get?

Best available FA - Marco Scutaro, Mark Reynolds, Russell Branyan, Clint Barmes, Hank Blalock, Scott Rolen and Ian Stewart.

What would you do???

I would consider dumping Richmond for Ian Stewart and then try and trade one of your good 2b for a small 3b upgrade. (Stewart would become the backup at 2b AND 3b to you, maybe even the starter).

I would do it as id oesnt really kill you OF just leaves you with less tantilizing UTIL prospects, but you do get Wright and Lowell will cool down, and you can plug who ever is hot in the UTIL roles, so I would take the trade

I like the trade offer that the last guy offered. IMO, Werth, Hart, and Jones are similar players. Werth has the better lineup. Hart is the more proven hitter. But, Jones hits 2nd in the Orioles lineup and has the sky for his potential. Wright is obviously the best player. You don't lose that much with losing Lilly and Millwood. It is a great sell high with Milwood and Lilly gives you K's but BAD ERA and WHIP.

I would offer a new trade but don't cancel his other trade... see what he says. If you get worried, then don't panic. Just accept the current trade.
