Ichiro's Value WHIR

[ABA316]

Team needs aside, what names of Sp do you think would be fair value for Ichiro player for player?

I have him and need SP help so I'm trying to come up with some offers.

Leave a link and I'll help you.

Billingsly and Gallardo are a couple of my favorites right now

Thx, keep them coming!

I offered Ich for Harang to an owner needing steals and runs..got a no thanks then a counter offer for Maholm to give me K's. Uhh..

[TeamMikeDeveraux]

Whoa, you can do better than Harang. Thanks for the help on mine. I would be looking at Beckett, F Hernandez, Liriano...Hope this helps!

If you are aiming up a little (don't like you chances, but why not try):
Billingsly, Grienke, Peavy, Sabbathia,

Not sure you could get those guys 1 for one but maybe you start there.

Real close to (perceived) value:
Beckett, Lester, Gallardo, J Johnson, Liriano, Felix

I would ask for more than a "1-1" for these guys but I like them if you can fill another need at the same time:
J Vazquez, Danks, Slowey

Thanks for the advice on mine!

I'd shoot for Harang, Josh Johnson, or possibly Gallardo. If you want to shoot high you can try for Billingsly, Grienke, Peavy, or Sabbathia but unless someone is desperate for an OF'er it's very doubtful they'd accept. I guess try for one of those top 4 starters and if you get shut down go after Harang/JJ/Gallardo.

[Whosyomamma]

I'd start with Billingsley, Peavy, Felix

Then move towards Gallardo, Cueto, Josh Johnson, Lester

If all else fails push on to Beckett, Sabathia (these guys are purely buy low) and try to see if he'll throw you back something else in return.

Thanks for the help on mine!

I like Ichiro going for either Billingsley, Gallardo, Johnson or Lester, as opposed to some of the other names that have been tossed around. I'm not exactly sure if you'll be able to get Bill or Gall one on one for Ichiro, but it's been mentioned in posts previous so I'm going to assume that it's a realistic possibility. The other guys I didn't mention above but have been some of the other names offered up in other places generally have suspect bullpens that could end up giving away hard earned W's, or even worse, blowing leads and then having those W's vultured later down in the bullpen. Also, some of the names don't have very strong offenses behind them, or pitch in some of the more generous hitter's parks. Obviously, these are all relatively minor considerations when compared to the individual skill and makeup of the pitchers themselves, but the minor things seem to have a much greater impact in fantasy baseball than they do in real life.

Billingsley, Gallardo, Johnson, Lester all play for teams with a lot of run-scoring potential and marquee hitting talents (even with Manny inactive, in Billingsley's case) that give these four guys some breathing room. Except for maybe Johnson, these guys also have generally stable and effective bullpens behind them with established closers. And all of these guys are also lights out on the mound and will rack up a respectable amount of K's.

Ichiro for any of these four would be a great trade for your team, in my opinion, but you'd be getting the better end of the deal targeting them in this order - Bill, Gall, Lester, Johnson. I'd really like to hear what you think about this assessment. Hopefully that was of some help to you, if you wouldn't mind returning the favor I'd appreciate it - viewtopic.php?f=29&t=384532

Thanks everyone!

Just pulled the trigger on sending Ichiro, Kuroda, and Travis Snider..getting Greinke and Aaron Hill. 2b is rather troublesome for me as well so I figure this should help.

I'm way behind in SP stats due to the injury bug biting early and hard so need to go to work on it.
