Broxton for Berkman, hurt or help?

[kingmike74]

I was offered Berkamn for Broxton

10 man redraft 5x5 ROTO

I am in first place by 20 points and second in saves, first in ERA and third in WHIP.

I am fourth in HR, fourth in RBI and seventh in average.

I just traded Pedroia for Utley.


Getting Berkman helps more than the hurt of losing Broxton?

I think that's good. Just out of curiosity - how big is the gap back to the pack in saves? I think Broxton will outpace Bell as the season progresses, but he's definitely the flashier name too, so easier to get a big name for him.

If you have a chance, chime in on my waiver wire issue/how to play with a lead at: viewtopic.php?t=390204

I could not get your link to work man to help you out but thanks for the help on my topic.

I'd do it. Broxton may be the best closer in the game but a power hitter is much more valuable than a closer. Berkman is heating up too.

A non-replacement level power hitter is worth more than a closer. Closers can be found on the waiver wire.

Take Berkman.
