Jeter/Ortiz/Danks for Rollins/Ordonez/Nathan...100%WHIR

Postby philaphan » Sun May 10, 2009 11:31 am

Alright, I have gone back and forth with this other owner all week and here is his latest offer:
MY: Jeter/Ortiz/Danks
for
His: Rollins/Ordonez/Nathan

Now I don't think I am going to take this but I wanted to run it by the board here to see what others thought. Every week I have lost the saves cat. and I am looking for another closer. In our league you need to start 2 RP and have the option to start another at the SP/RP. 8 out of the 10 teams in the league start 3 RP/Closers.

What does everyone think of this offer? This is the way I see it:

Rollins/Jeter = Advantage Jeter RIGHT NOW...but Rollins has the skills to turn it around and be better than Jeter.

Ortiz/Ordonez= Both are horrible right now. Who will breakout of the slump and have a decent season this year?

Danks/Nathan = Depends! Nathan is an elite closer that is not getting has chances to close early on and Danks rebounded lastnight with a good outing.

Please help! 100% WHIR!!! Below is my team:
10 Team Head2Head 5X5
C:Suzuki
1b:Berkman
2b:Phillips
3b:Atkins
SS:Jeter
OF:Braun, Crawford, Ibanez
Util:Ortiz
BN: Posada, Swisher, Lind
SP:Peavy, Grienke
RP: Soria, Downs
SP/RP: Kazmir Danks, C. Young
BN: E. Jackson, Scherzer, B. J. Ryan
DL: E. Santana

I'd do it, especially if you're hurting in saves. I just don't trust Jeter at his age, and I think Rollins has to start to produce eventually - especially in that lineup in that ballpark! Danks is a loss, but Nathan should be worth it. Seems like it's generally harder to get good closers than good SPs on the waiver wire anyway.

So here's a vote to do it! ;-D

I actually like this deal for you.

Rollins > Jeter. Unless there's some hidden injury, I don't see why Rollins wouldn't bust out of this slump.

Ordonez > Ortiz. Sorry to say, it looks like Big Papi is finished. Ordonez has been bad too, but this level of non-performance seems to have out of the blue (much more than Big Papi). I like his bounce-back chances more. Anyway, you would have the nice option of playing Lind until he wakes up.

Nathan > Danks. I like Danks ... have him on a few teams. But you need a closer, and Nathan is arguable the best (along with Paps).

I like that deal. You're getting Rollins and Nathan which I consider to be the 2 best players in the deal. I'd grab that in a heartbeat.

Probably a good deal.

I look at it like this:

Rollins>Ortiz. Both guys suck, but Ortiz sucks more.

Jeter = Magglio. Both are quality players, and either one could outperform the other.

Nathan > Danks.

You would be slightly downgrading at SS, but you'd gain a quality outfielder and elite closer while offloading Papi.
