Tex for billingsley?? Whir!!

Postby sreill » Fri May 08, 2009 4:27 pm

I trade bills and get tex. On paper this is a no brainer but with bills being so hot and tex getting off to a slow start, the buy low sell high strategy is in play here. It would leave me with 3 1b. So it would set me up to trade berkman or fielder

I guess you start 5 SP a week. I would jump on the trade, but then you'd have to trade a 1B...what are you going to try to get for the 1B, another SP? I doubt you could get someone of Billingsly's caliber, but float your trade first for trade possiblities...if someone is willing to trade a great SP, then do the trade. Otherwise, I think Billingsly has arrived.

Your SP looks great....so you can afford to lose one if you can get good value for your left-over 1B....

Based on value alone I'd take Teix over Bills every day of the week as I generally value hitters over pitchers. In your case it leaves you with a logjam so it really depends on how confident you are that you can retrade one of those guys.

TEX is a beast and his whole career he starts slow. now with Damon red hot in front of him is getting lots of rbi's chances and A.Rod behind him to get TEX lots of runs.


Take TEIXEIRA any day.
