Should I or Shouldn't I...Lester question

Postby Whosyomamma » Fri May 22, 2009 1:47 pm

Should I or shouldn't I go after Lester? Help me put together a package with at least one of my OF's (other owner's need).

Here is one possible package - thoughts:
I give: Choo
I get: Lester, N.Morgan
Will need to drop someone though.

SP - J.Santana, Greinke, Danks, Volstad, J.Sanchez, Nolasco, Parra
RP - Papelbon, Fuentes, Morrow(SP)
DL - Matsuzaka

Here is his team:
C - Sandoval(1B,3B)
1B - Teixeira, C.Pena, Hafner (UTIL Only)
2B - J.Lopez(1B)
3B - Rolen, Blalock(1B)

I would for sure buy low on lester right now if that deal will work do it but really choo for Lester will be better if you want the trade to work.

For sure Lester is a good buy low option right now. Choo is a solid, but unspectacular player while Lester is a top 20 pitcher with upside.

As a Lester owner in multiple leagues, I wouldn't do this. I think you should be prepared to give up someone like Either if you want Lester. At the very least take Morgan out of your current proposal, Choo certainly isn't good enough for you to be asking for additional players.

I think you definitely should go for Lester right now. He showed signs of turning it around last night and the window to buy low is probably closing. I have him on my team and I have suffered through it because he is throwing the ball well, 93-95 MPH and his main issue has been his control. Last night his curve looked sharp.

To be honest, as a Lester owner I would never trade him for Choo and I think Choo is a solid player so unless your dealing with a newbie owner it might cost you more than that for Lester.

Just my opinion
