Am i SMART to do this ? My Hunter for Soriano-Lowell- WHIR

Postby gas house gang » Sun May 24, 2009 1:07 am

we do 8 x8
I know Soriano has the name value over Hunter , but when you look at the stats over the last 3 years , it doesnt make sense to trade Hunter for Soriano . Lowell is a bench guy for me , but is still a good bench guy to play when injuries occur or someone is cold.....

I have this pending right now and it will go thru tomorrow nite at 10:00 , 3 people have voted against it , because i am getting Soriano ,,,, but with Hunters homer tonight i am thinking about voting against my own trade to have it VETOED .... I'm 2nd guessing myself - i am now thinking that SORIANO isn't what he USED TO BE !!!!!!

PLEASE HELP - I TRUST YOU GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!! WHIR !

Meh. I love Hunter this season, and I am sure that Soriano will have his annual stint on the DL because of hammy problems. To me, I would rather have Hunter than Soriano.

Is it a keeper league?
Hunter is def. a possible keeper - where Soriano and Lowell are def. not.

1st, I like this trade for you. Soriano has much more value than Hunter
2nd, if you veto your own trade, you really shouldn't be playing in the 1st place. You agreed to this trade. If others veto it fine, but ethically, you really shouldn't veto it yourself. If you didn't want to make the trade, don't agree to it in the first place.

regardless, i like this for you anyway

please help:

Thanks guys ,, and YES it is a leeper league , but i have A ROD , Miguel Cabrera , and Utley as my 3 keepers , but hey Soriano may go crazy and bump one of those out .......

It's just that Hunter is so UNDERRATED - he played in Minnesota all those years and didn't get the publicity that a Soriano gets.... At first glance , it's a no-brainer but when you stop and study Hunter and Soriano it may make you think differently....

Hunter is having a real good year as we speak !!!!
