Volquez for Lidge (B.Cecil, R.Porcello, K.Escobar)?

Postby Rotowahoo » Mon May 11, 2009 12:40 pm

I have needed saves for a while, but I'm currently in 1st place. However, if I don't make a move now in that category (5x5), I may never be able to gain ground. Would you do the following trade?

Roto 5x5, 10-owners, $280 max, 5-10 keeps...

Giving up: E.Volquez $5
Getting: B.Lidge $15 and K.Escobar $5 (DL)

I would likely then drop LaTroy Hawkins for Brett Cecil or Rick Porcello. Is this worth it?

C - V.Mart $9
C - P.Sandoval $5
1B - P.Fielder $30
3B - A.Rod $30
CI - J.Morneau $25
2B - A.Cabrera $5
SS - D.Jeter $15
MI - T.Tulo $15
OF - R.Braun $15
OF - J.Bay $15
OF - C.Grand $7
OF - A.Rios $26
OF - E.Dukes $5
UT - R.Zimmerman $11
UT - C.Coghlan $5
(DL) - T.Hafner $1
P - C.Billingsley $5
P - D.Haren $23
P - C.Lee $5
P - J.Chamberlain $9
P - J.Cueto $5
P - E.Volquez $5
P - J.Shields $5
P - K.Gregg $5
P - H.Street $5
P - L.Hawkins $5

Getting Lidge will really help you.

Porcello for a 1 dollar would be a steal (if you can sign him for that much for multiple years). Cecil for up to 5 would be good value as well.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
