Hey there, I was offered Carlos Lee for Chad Billingsley, or should I go for Jason Bay instead? I could use the hitting but I am afraid that if I lose Chad I would be cutting it to thin with SP. I am in a small 8 team, 5x5 roto league. What do you think, WHIR 100%
My current team: Inge Tex Utley Wright Tejada kemp Ichiro B.J. Upton Justin Upton Util: Adrian Gonzalez Util: Prince Fielder BN: Alex Rios
Bedard James Shields Peavy Heath Bell Fuentes Billingsley BN: Waingwright BN: Qualls

I would hang tight. I dont know if you need the hitting that much in return for making your pitching a liability. However, if you are an active guy and can make pitching moves throughout the week, you could fill the hole Bills left by submitting pitchers on the waiver that have good matchups. I hope this helps.
Typically i view the rule as you always go for big bats over the big arms, so I would lean towards you taking this deal. At the very worst you find yourself a little too think at SP and you trade for someone as good, if not better than Billingsly with Lee or someone else.
I've never played in 8 team but I say you take Lee
it leaves you a little thin at SP but in a league that small theres sure to be some decent pitching on the FA wire later. If i had a choice i'd rather have bay than lee... more chances for RBI's

I would wait. Rios is coming around and putting up numbers again. So wait this one oput. If you are near last in your league with your lineup I am suprised
i like bay over lee....but i think i would prob keep chad....ur staff needs him more than ur offense needs bay.....can u get ibanez for cheaper? he might match bay this year

See if you can do Shields for Bay instead ... I just like Bills more for some reason -- fewer encounters with BOS and NY and TOR... better yet, see if the guy will do a 2-for-2 ... Shields and J.Upton for Bay and a solid SP like a Ted Lilly. I had J.Ups last year and he had a scorching 3 weeks and then fell off the planet. He WILL be amazing at some point, but if this is not a keeper, then perhaps make the move.
