Should I continue to patiently wait or trade him for a closer
I am eying Soria, Cordero, Nathan and paps..
No way I get those closers?

Reading this I was about to say, no way you get those guys for him right now. I have him also and have been contimplating the same thing. I had such high hopes for him. When Kinsler went down last year I picked him up on a whim and it paid HUGE dividends. Now I drafted him high as my SS and it blew up in my face. Thats said becuase of my investment, Im going to wait it out. He is having flashes. If he can get it together after the all star break Im content. Hang onto him unless you have a viable back up and your one position away from making a push. That position looks like a closer.

Aside from his batting avg his stats aren't even that bad for a middle infielder. I think the worst is behind him so I'd keep him.

Thats what Im thinking..
I drafted him really high, but to trade him for a closer in an equal round range sounds fair to me...
I have hill, hardy and Alexie playing, but have tulo on my bench..
Im thinking of going for a closer or catcher..Not sure
Thanks

If you could get something in the equal round range that would be awesome but your not going to get the value for him right now. If you want a closer you would walk away with someone like Lindstrom, Gonzalez, Wood, maybe Capps, etc. at this point. Like a tier 3 closer.

If you drafted him high, then you should keep him right now..You are not gonna get top dollar for him..Might as well wait it out and keep him..Might like his production

I'd never trade for a top tier closer. Don't pay for saves. You're better off targeting middle to late round closers like Qualls, Wilson, etc.
Help with mine plz -
