Billingsley/Parra for Adam Jones/Ziegler

Postby perlick29 » Fri May 22, 2009 1:13 pm

Here we are again: I've been offered Adam Jones and Brad Ziegler for my Chad Billingsley and a throwaway in Gerrardo Parra.

My roster:

C B. Molina (SF - C)
1B A. Dunn (WAS – 1B, OF)
2B A. Hill (TOR – 2B)
3B M.Cabrera (DET - 1B, 3B)
SS J. Reyes (NYM - SS)
OF K. Morales (LAA – 1B,OF)
OF H. Pence (HOU - OF)
OF V. Wells (TOR - OF)
Util H. Matsui (NYY – OF)
BN G. Parra (ARZ - OF)
BN G. Sheffield (NYM - OF)
DL E. Dukes (WAS - OF)

SP Z. Greinke (KC - SP)
SP C. Billingsley (LAD – SP)
RP M. Gonzalez (ATL - RP)
RP B. Fuentes (LAA - RP)
P C.J. Wilson (TEX - RP)
P U. Jimenez (COL - SP)
P C. Marmol (CHC - RP)
BN E. Jackson (DET – SP)
BN J. Johnson (BAL – RP)
BN D. Bush (MIL – SP)
BN M. Garza (TB - SP)

Jones doesn't really help with Steals, I'd be buyng high, but he helps in runs and is a good outfielder to have. Plus Billingsley's pitch counts have been high and his control has begun to slip. What should I do? as always, WHIR.

Forget the man crush. I drop what I'm doing to watch Zack Greinke pitch.

You definitely could use Jones at your U or OF. But your SP is not that great without Billingsley. E-Jack and Garza are good, but Greinke and Billingsley are your everyday must-starts. If you were to do this I'd either ask for an upgrade at RP, Ziegler has been a question mark after this battle with sickness or for a buy-low SP, like Nolasco, Danks, Chris B Young, Smoltz, or Kazmir. Someone with upside or potential to bounce back.
