Crawford for Greinke

Postby Horned Frog » Wed May 06, 2009 7:18 pm

Standard positions and 5X5 via Yahoo.

Everyone in the league now wants Crawford and Haren or Santana. Trying to move some outfielders for pitching but dudes are draging. Any player I drop will be picked up as I have the superior offense.
Can't move Lowell yet as no Red Sox homers and no one to take him in a shallower league.
Should I do Crawford for Greinke straight up (if I can get by with it)

While Greinke would be nice your pitching staff is solid and you need crawfords speed with your offensive lineup. I'd say Greinke has more value right now than Crawford but the move would not be best for your particular situation.

Your starting pitching is fine. You don't need Greinke. You do need a closer though. Deal a bat for a closer instead.

Return the favor plz viewtopic.php?t=383417
