Is Rollins worth it? WHIR

[DannyG]

Alright, so I'm loaded offensively, and rather poor pitching-wise.

BUT my only 2 SS are JJ Hardy (not doing so well) and Barlett (doing great).

Considering I just picked up Lowell who rides my bench (Youk at 3B, Pena at UTL), and Danks will eventually come down,

Would you deal Lowell, Danks, and Yovanni for Rollins? (To me, its Yovanni for Rollins basically)

SS is probably my only questionable spot. I dont think Barlett will keep this up, but then again Hardy HAS to get better.

My SP: Burnett, Yovanni, Danks, Bedard, Maholm, R.Johnson, Escobar (DL), E.Santana (DL)

Trade from strength, not weakness. That's not a bad trade for you in terms of value, but you'd be decimating your staff.

[pappymojo]

who would you pick up with those two spots?

also, who would he drop to make room for those two?

also, who would you drop to make room for rollins?

also, who would you pick up with that spot?

I'd keep Gallardo. You trade him and your pitching staff is basically Bedard. Burnett, Danks, and Maholm will help but they are not above average pitchers. I like Rollins, but wouldn't do that deal.

I doubt the other guy would take that but it would be worth the hit to your staff. Plus you get a couple of open roster spots. If this is a daily H2H league you can afford to go with spot starters for a while. Or you could trade Rollins again when he gets rolling.

That's a tough one, I agree w/ the one reply that you'd really be denting your staff. Gallardo and Danks would be a big blow, and I think you're short-selling Danks a bit; he's definitely coming down (look at tonight), but he'll be a reliable SP.

At the same time, I wouldn't want to bank on Hardy or Bartlett. With your offensive strength and given the players you listed, why not consider dealing Pena (could be a sell high), and pair with one SP. You may be able to get Rollins for a slight discount now.

too big of a pitching loss, but rollins may well be worth it

[DannyG]

Thanks for all the input guys.

Looking at FA list, Id most likely pick up 2 of the following: Ubaldo Jimenez, Phil Hughes, Oliver Perez, Tim Wakefield, Brian Bannister, Andy Petite, Masterson, J. Zimmerman, Tommy Hanson, chris Samson.

They don't look too bad! (Esp Wakefield, Zimm, Masterson)

The only other thing im wondering is that if Im punting sb, is it even worth it?

My Roster: C - Sandoval, 1B - Pujols, 2B - Hill, 3B - Youkilis, SS - Bartlett, OF - Beltran, OF - C.Lee, OF - A.Ethier, UTL - Pena, BN - Magglio, BN - JJ Hardy, BN - Lowell, BN - C.Davis

No real other speed guys on my squad, but then again, its a weekly h2h, so one guy can really help in a week, that is IF rollins starts producing.

Oh... and I have Galarraga (DET-SP)

[yanks2327]

I think you definitely have some decent options available on the WW -- I like Zimm and Masterson, but I like Pettite over Wakefield; that knuckler scares me, when it's not on he's open to getting lit up. Jimenez and Perez are guys to keep an eye on, but man they can explode your ratios, and it sounds like if Perez doesn't get it together this weekend vs. the Phils, he's out of the rotation at least temporarily. I like Galaragga and he's a nice guy to have, but despite these options I'd still be reluctant to throw off both Gallardo and Danks.

I think Hughes is really close, but it's just a matter of getting starts, which will probably depend on a significant injury to a Yankee starter or if they go to a 6-man later in the season to keep Joba's innings down; I expect Wang to get over his lower body issues and he'll get his place back.

And obviously Hanson is a great guy to keep an eye on as he gets closer to getting a call up.
