Adam Dunn for Josh Johnson - Keeper - WHIR 100%

Postby plapre3 » Thu Jun 04, 2009 9:02 pm

My pitching has been maddening so far this season as the staff is simply not put together well. I have OF depth and I'm looking for another pitcher, one whom I can trust to put out there every week, but no one is biting on Hart, Dunn, or Werth. So, what do you all think of this:

Adam Dunn for Josh Johnson?

It was offered to me, but I don't think I like it. Pros: I have OF depth and Johnson has been very good. He's also younger and a very solid keeper, which is fairly important for my older team. Cons: I lose a lot of power and Dunn is more valuable in our league than others since OPS is a stat cat. Additionally, Johnson's value is down some since he plays on a crappy team and we count not only wins, but QS-L.

The Sidd Finches:
C Bengie Molina/ Mike Napoli
1B Adrian Gonzalez
2B Aaron Hill
SS Michael Young
3B Kevin Youkilis
OF Carlos Beltran
OF Corey Hart
OF Adam Dunn (1B Eligible)
UT Jayson Werth
Bench: Mike Napoli, Billy Butler, Mark DeRosa, Garret Atkins, Ryan Theriot, Nolan Reimold, Johnny Damon

SP (Start 5) Roy Halladay, Jon Lester, Wandy Rodriguez, Kevin Slowey, Mark Buehrle
RP (Start 3) Joe Nathan, Joakim Soria, Huston Street
Bench: Paul Mahom, Chris Young, Dallas Braden

Minors: Neftali Feliz, Franklin Morales, Tim Alderson, Chris Carlos Carrasco, and Matt LaPorta

6x6 weekly HtH 14 team roto keeper (between 5 and 10 keepers (no time limits or costs), losing a draft pick for each after 5)
Offensive Categories: BA, OPS, RBI, HR, SB and Runs Scored.
Pitching Categories: W, S, ERA, K/IP, Quality Starts minus Losses, and WHIP
Minors: 5 "free" keepers. These players if are eligible to be kept without the loss of a draft pick and in addition to the max of 10. They must have under 200 Ab or less than 75 IP and 20 APP.

Thank you in advance and as always, WHIR

I agree with the above. Shop Dunn, but not too long, and then grab the deal. I wonder if the Nationals will be trading their pieces and eliminating any protection Dunn has.

Johnson easy. He's the most underrated sp, and is a top 15 sp.

Interesting, I must say that I'm pretty surprised.

Still, I think it makes sense. OF course the guy is now saying he wants A-Gon instead, which won't happen, but I'm thinking I can get him to do the deal nonetheless.

Any other opinions? Anyone like Dunn?

I would make this move, I like Dunn but he is showing his true colors as his abnormally high average is coming crashing back down to earth. Especially in a keeper league I love Josh Johnson now and for the future, make it happen.

Help with mine?
