Logjam at middle infield - WHIR

Postby oxhammer » Mon May 18, 2009 2:41 pm

Rank these outfielders that you think I could get back in a straight up trade for Hudson: Sizemore, Granderson, Markakis, Lind, Mclough, Soriano, Holliday, Braun, Rios, Jones

I can't start Phillips, Hardy, Hudson, and Cabrera. It's killing me to leave that kind of production on the bench. I think my biggest weakness is OF. I don't think Inge will hold up all year. I would prefer keeping Hardy and Cabrera due to position eligibility. So, I'm thinking of trading Hudson for an OF. Or, is there another option you'd recommend that would help my team more?

I don't see how you could possibly land any of those guys...ranking them would be pointless IMO. Orlando Hudson is off to a fast start, but those OFs are studs. I would be scratching my head if I was offered Hudson for most of those OF you listed.

I would target McClouth, Lind, Ludwick, Hawpe, Ethier...but to be honest I would be surprised if you had any bites on those offers.

Yeah I agree. That is a pretty good list of OFs you are lookin at and I would be really surprised if you got any of them for O. I like the list the previous poster put. I think those are the best possible options you can get for O if any.

Help me please:

The reason I think I can pull a trade like this off is because one owner is starting Jose Lopez at 2B with Crawford, Werth, Granderson, Fukudome, and Ramirez at OF. Another owner is starting Kelly Johnson with Soriano, Holliday, Braun, Rios, and Jones at OF. We can only start 3 OF and on DH.

How do you feel about targeting Ramirez? I'd rather an OF I can play right away, obviously, but maybe based on what I could get for Hudson, it wouldn't be much of an upgrade. However, once Ramirez is back, he'd be an obvious upgrade.

Or, maybe I should trade Philips to get one of those OF and start Hudson at 2B?

I doubt that you can pull one of those deals off.

The first message I could possible see Lind. If what you say above is true you may be able to nab Jayson Werth.

But I dont know how many people will buy odog after mannys suspension. The reason he was doing so well was because they didnt want to face manny and needed his out.
