Looking to upgrade Infield..help! 100% WHIR

Postby clarkw267 » Thu Apr 30, 2009 12:14 am

The obvious strength of my team is OF. I have Braun, Sizemore, BJ Upton, Ethier, and Ibanez. I also have Derrek Lee on my bench, but he would be a tough sell right now.

I am fairly weak at 2B/SS/3B. Who would you move and what type of player should I target. Do you think maybe a D Lee or Ibanez for Alexei Ramirez (2B/SS) would be a smart move? If you have any other ideas just let me know.. I'm stuck right now.

12 team, Roto (5x5) Keeper (Keep 6)
My Team
C - Pierzynski
1B - Pujols
2B - Weeks
3B - Mora
SS - Bartlett
OF - Sizemore
OF - Braun
OF - Upton
UT - Ethier
BN - D Lee
BN - Ibanez
BN - C. Guzman
DL - Doumit

SP - J Santana
SP - Haren
RP - Rivera
RP - Rodney
P - Hawkins
P - B Myers
P - W. Rodriguez
BN - Porcello
BN - Baker

I like ibanez for ramirez as I think there is a chance of that going through

I would try a 2 for 1 upgrade (say Utley or Pedroia) for both lee and ibanez then look at picking a guy like fowler up on waivers.

please help

I like Aaron hill over Alexei for the rest of the year and my guess is you can still get Hill at a decent price. I think Ibanez would be the right guy to deal. You could probably get a Hardy or an equivalent as well.

in a keeper league, i def. would try and shop ibanez right now as his value is the highest it will ever get. also try and move lee if you can. i would target a dan uggla type player b/c you need some power from your IF. sucks on losing doumit but C is so weak this year, that you shouldn't panic there.

I think Ibanez or Ethier would have the most value -- could try to trade for Rollins, Brandon Phillips, Garrett Atkins, etc depending on the position you need most...more complicated though seeing that you are in a keeper league.

I would go for Ramirez, he wouldnt be too expensive now considering he got off to a slow start. He has just recently started a small come back and I'm not sure I believe he is going to have a sophomore slump

Ibanez for Ramirez is smart in a keeper league.

Alexei is off to a slow start so you could probably get him for little. Try dealing him for D Lee
