What should I do with my SS, trade for Zobrist?

Postby leonsbrother » Fri May 29, 2009 9:52 pm

I am playing ESPN fantasy baseball H2H in a 12-team league with 10 normal categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG; W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP.

Should I wait until Ramirez come back and trade Chipper for a good SS, or should I do it right now?

What kind SS should I target if I am trading away Mariano Rivera? (I can pick up Rafael Soriano from FA)? Thanks in advance

Rivera for Rollins might work.

You need an upgrade and Zobrist would be a start. Then see if you can get somebody for Rivera. Hopefully you can get abite on name recognition as Francisco and Cordero may be better SP at this time.

I like trying to get Alexei. He looks to be getting back into good form.

Thanks for the help. I think you may be on the right track with Alexei. He will come cheaper than Rollins and may provide very similar numbers, if not better in the power categories. Rollins is more of a sure fire thing though with his track record.

I think targeting Alexei while his overall numbers still look bad is a good idea. I'm not sure that you could get Rollins for Rivera, and Alexei's owner may still be down on him after an incredibly poor start to the season (trust me, I was frustrated too). However, I see this as similar to the Justin Upton situation a while back. He started out so poorly that when he started heating up people dismissed it and his value remained depressed for a good week or two after he started hitting again. Now is the best time to buy Alexei if his owner is still looking at overall stats.
