My Zimmerman/Span for His Ellsbury/Sandoval *WHIR*

Postby stickkeys108 » Mon Jun 22, 2009 10:22 pm

I'm basing this on the fact that I need speed and I don't know that Zimmerman can maintain this hot start. Let me know what you think based on my roster. Sandoval is on this guy's bench and is eligible at C/1B/3B. It's essentially Ellsbury for Zimmerman and Sandoval and Span are throw-ins.

10-team, 4-keeper, Yahoo, roto, very competitive

Fair deal, though Zimmerman to Sandoval is a downgrade at 3b, imo. (Not lately, but still.) If you need speed badly, okay, but then you will have to bench Hill or Hawpe, who've both been good this year.

If you do this, you might look to deal one of those two (maybe with Sandoval, if you can target someone who needs a catcher and has an extra 3b) for an upgrade at 3b.

that's a horrible trade for you. especially considering this is a keeper league. sandoval is a major downgrade for this season, and many seasons to come. and span steals plenty, he's just got hurt. but before that, he was the same as ellsbury but with a little more pop and a little less speed
