[kickureface]

standard yahoo h2h 5x5
his brad lidge for my john danks. am i missing something here, cuz this sounds really good.

team: hitting i am weaker in 3b, lacking in of depth. SP i am loaded with midtier players
c: vmart
1. youkilis
2. kinsler
3. figgins
ss: alexei ramierz
of: quentin, ludwick, dunnn
util: utley
BENCH: inge (added in for favorable matchups or injuries or no shows since he's C, 3b, OF)
SP: Hamels, Harden, Lester, Danks, Bedard, Joba, Lohse, Ervin(DL)
RP: Bell, frank francisco, ryan franklin, jose valverde

standard league so start 2sp, 2rp, 3p so if i do this i'd start my 5 RP all the time and rotate in the SP.

john danks msg on yahoo:
"Danks had a career-high 10 strikeouts and allowed one run on four hits with one walk in six innings of the White Sox's 3-2 win over Texas on Saturday.
Advice: Danks had struggled in his previous two starts, so it was nice to see him get back on track. The spike in strikeouts was simply an added bonus.

Ya, thats a nice value for Danks. Lidge has his job on lockdown and is a good bet for 40+ SVs.

hmm so its not a no brainer, but just a slightly more valuable trade? im new so i dont know.

also, john danks a sleeper or has some news about him i dont know?

i wouldn't say its a no brainer... but value wise I think you come out on top... plus you said yourself that you had a ton of mid level SPs, so why not deal one to upgrade your RPs??? Danks has a lot of potential, but considering your depth at SP i would make the deal. good luck

I'd make the deal but it's not a no-brainer. Your SP depth and lack of reliable closers make it a good deal for you.

[screwball1234]

I wouldn't say its a no-brainer, Lidge hasn't looked that good this year for one, two you have 3 decent closers.Three with Hamels and Hardin being injury risks to trade a good SP for a closer wouldn't make sense to me.

lidge will work out the kinks and will be ready to roll in the closing months.

Not a no-brainer. I wouldnt do it. You've got 3 very good options at RP and you could easily lose 3 of your SP's to injury. No reason to upgrade RP at this time and tempt the fates with a staff of Harden ,Hamel, and Santana (DL)
