Nate McLouth For Aaron Hill

Postby Dr.Bloodmoney » Sat Jun 06, 2009 3:05 am

I need some help on Second base and have a deep outfield. Am I paying too much for an overvalued player here? How long do I wait for Kendrick to turn it around? Any help is appreciated.

2B- Howie Kendrick
3B- Chipper Jones
SS- Jimmy Rollins

Bench- Pablo Sandoval, Adam Kennedy

SP(8 starts a week)- Felix Hernandez, Zack Greinke, Ervin Santana, Clayton Kershaw, Edwin Jackson, Randy Johnson, Hiroki Kuroda

You've got some serious OF depth. I do not see Hill lighting it up all year, I may be wrong, but he should normalize. I would move McLouth or a different OF for a better 2B.

you can do better for mclouth. play up the "look at his crazy numbers last year in a WORSE lineup, and now he's finally batting amongst actual MLB hitters, chipper and mccann" angle.

I'm not a Hill believer, but it's a fair trade. I'd try for someone like Phillips first though.

PS) If you look at avg runs scored I think the Pirates are better then the Braves, so I don't buy the "McLouth's in a better lineup" argument. The Braves offense is terrible.

it's all perception. most people just assume pitt is worse, and that atl better due to having "name" players like chipper and mccann.

Thought better of it and am going to trader a SP( E.Santan) for Brian Roberts. Than will trade McLouth for another SP either W. Rodriguez or E. Bedard
