Need a shakeup - Offered the motherload for Reyes - WHIR!

Postby Bea Arthur » Sun May 31, 2009 4:47 pm

20 team, H22, 5x5 keeper. 5 keepers.

My team is the defending champed but has had the worst run of luck you can imagine. Look at all of my DL/NA guys. I went from 1st place a couple of weeks ago to second to last after back to back to back huge losses. Anyway, one of the last place team made the following offer:

I get: V-Mart, Zambrano, Millwood, Stephen Drew
I give: Reyes

I don't really like that deal on the surface (V-Mart is the only real keeper), but I could counter and ask for V-Mart, Alexei Ramirez, Zambrano and Marmol. This way I could put V-Mart at 1B while Votto is out 'indefinitely' and slide Ramirez into the SS slot. Thoughts?

C- Iannetta (DL)
1B - Votto (DL indefinitely)
2B - Utley
SS - Reyes (DL)
3B - Mora
OF - Rivera
OF - Hamilton (nagging injuries)
OF - McLouth
Util - Barmes
BN - Beckham
BN - Fontenot
BN - Daniel Murphy
BN - Barmes
DL - Aramis Ramirez

SP - Jimenez
SP - Zimmerman
SP - Meche
SP - Romero
SP - J. Johnson
RP - Madson
RP - Hanrahan
BN - T. Hanson
BN - Nolasco
DL - Bonderman

Do your counter for sure! That would be a great deal for you. I think reyes is overrated anyways so great deal for you.

Thanks for the help!

i like the counter offer better too however, i think you are selling low on reyes. quantity does not = quality, especially in a keeper. i would keeper reyes personally.

Do you have the guys to drop?

I think I would stand pat. Regardless of what that guy above says, Jose Reyes is NOT overrated.
