A team is looking for HR/R/RBI and is putting Peavy, Volquez, and Vasquez on the block.
14 team, 5x5 roto, 5 keepers...into this season my keepers were Howard, BJ, C Lee, Granderson, and Oswalt.
C: Posada 1B: Howard 2B: Kaz 3B: Lowell SS: Asdrubel Cabrera OF: C Lee OF: BJ OF: Granderson OF: Adam Jones BN: Freddy Sanchez, Brandon Wood, Wieters, Stephen Drew DL: Vlad SP: Oswalt, Shields, Baker, Pettitte RP: Jenks, Bell, Ziegler, Chris Perez, Beimel DL: Kuroda
I desperately need a high K/9 guy (last in K's already, although it's early)...I was thinking of offering Jones for Vasquez...thoughts? I could probably do C Lee for Peavy but I don't want to give up C Lee so early, but I do need to make some room over the next couple of weeks for Kuroda and Vlad.
trading vlad for vasquez is not trading low at this point imo. i think vlad is on the down side of his career. vasquez is going to ring up a ton of k's this year and his era could end up around 3.50 this year. thinking maybe 14 wins, 3.50 era, 1.30 whip and 190-220 k's is def possible. I would do it.
I agree with the other posters, I would not consider this selling low on Vlad, plus Vasquez is a really solid pitcher who, imo, will have continued success this season in the national league.
