Aram down....need a 3B, offered Atkins.....WHIR

[coleman1027]

I've been offered Atkins for Putz (hold league) and one of my active outfielders (except Rios)........would that be too much for the slumping Atkins.......so I think that would be Hart....can't see giving up Ibanez....and I'm not sure if he'd take Lind.....but he doesn't want Rios.....

I've got 1 open roster spot now for SP streaming.....after a 2 for 1 trade I'd have another opening and would work the wire for holds (which I'm leading in) although Morrow's coming off DL.....

Or maybe stick with DeRosa.....and look to trade for a SP?

Current roster
C Russell Martin(LAD - C,3B)
1B Mark Teixeira(NYY - 1B)
2B Ian Kinsler(Tex - 2B)
3B Mark DeRosa (CLE - 2B, 3b, OF) picked up on the wire...
SS Troy Tulowitzki(Col - SS)
OF Andre Ethier (LAD - OF)
OF Raúl Ibañez(Phi - OF)
OF Adam Lind(Tor - OF)
Util Corey Hart(Mil - OF)
SP Scott Richmond (Tor - SP)
SP Javier Vázquez(Atl - SP)
RP Kerry Wood(Cle - RP)
RP J.J. Putz(NYM - RP)
P Brian Fuentes LAA - RP)
P Trevor Hoffman(Mil - RP)
P Jonathan Broxton(LAD - RP)
BN Manny Ramírez(LAD - OF) NA
BN Álex Ríos(Tor - OF)
BN James Shields(TB - SP)
BN Roy Oswalt(Hou - SP)
DL Brandon Morrow(Sea - SP,RP) DL
DL Aramis Ramírez(ChC - 3B) DL

I'd start with Lind and Putz for Atkins.

Help with mine?

Thanks for your voice.

You and I are working the same thing. Trade for Adkins or play De Rosa. I'd like to see his lineup, but I think this seems reasonable, but I would not be opposed to playing a tad hardball and going with De Rosa for a week. I only fear his strikeouts, but they cont count in my league so I am likely going to roll with him.


Help out a Cafe brother???

I like all of your OF better than Atkins. I know it's tough going with DeRosa but are there other 3B free agents? any other 3B players you could target?

Here's the top few on the wire, I was thinking about Branyan before picking up DeRosa.......Concerned about OPB with him.....and K's...
Russell Branyan(Sea - 1B,3B)
Hank Blalock(Tex - 1B,3B)
Scott Rolen(Tor - 3B)
Mark Teahen(KC - 1B,3B,OF)
Casey Blake(LAD - 1B,3B)
Pedro Feliz(Phi - 3B)
Mike Fontenot(ChC - 2B,3B)
Clint Barmes(Col - 2B,3B,SS)

I actually like Hank Blalock more than Atkins. Both guys are talented, but Texas offense is much more potent. I think both players probably K the same too. Forget about targeting Atkins with Blalock there.
