Postby jmcampbe11 » Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:18 pm

Looking to improve in batting average. Thoughts on either one of these trade ideas?

TRADE 1
GIVE - Sizemore/Stewart
GET - Braun/J.Lopez
or
TRADE 2
GIVE - Adm.Jones/Stewart
GET - Ichiro/J.Lopez

MY TEAM - 10 team roto league. We keep 3 players each season.
C-Martin 1b-A.Gonzalez 2b-Phillips ss-Alx.Ramirez 3b-Longoria CI-C.Jones MI-Stewart OF-Sizemore, Adm.Jones, Dye, Choo, Pence Util-Kubel (or Ludwick)
SP-Greinke, Gallardo, Lilly, Danks, Jimenez, Nolasco RP-Broxton, Qualls, B.Wilson, Nunez

I like trade 1 better than 2. Braun and Lopez will help you in all cats, and definitely more so in average than Sizemore. Despite his tools, Sizemore's average always stinks. I think Braun is a better keeper than Sizemore anyway.

Ichiro is fine, but hes not really doing much else to help you out nearly as much as the guys in trade 1 will. Basically, why only settle for one stat?

I wouldn't deal Jones away either....by the end of the year, he could very well be in your keeper discussion. Braun, Jones/Longo, Greinke would be nice to build around.

Could you help me out?
