Hi all,
Wondering if I should make the following trade:
Give: Albert Pujols
Get: Ryan Howard and Zack Grienke
10 team, non-keeper, 6 X 6 (R, HR, RBI, SB, BA, OPS and W, SV, K, Holds, ERA, WHIP).
I am currently in first place by a few points. I am at or near the lead in every category except RBI and Wins (though not by massive amounts). This trade is with the team in third place.
I would plug Ryan Howard in for Pujols and Greinke would bolster my starting rotation (I'm not confident that Cueto will be healthy/good for the rest of the season in light of his last few starts, including today's 0.2 inning, 9-run debacle). Shields has been decent, but not great, and Oswalt has had a mediocre first half, though seems to be coming on. I would drop Ricky Romero as part of the 2 for 1.
Here is my team:
C - Jorge Posada
1B - Albert Pujols
2B - Chone Figgins
3B - Aramis Ramirez
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
OF - Manny Ramirez
OF - Ichiro
OF - Carlos Lee
Util- Carlos Pena
BN - Shin-Soo Choo
SP - Dan Haren
SP - Javier Vasquez
SP - Johnny Cueto
SP - Roy Oswalt
SP - James Shields
SP - Ricky Romero
RP - Huston Street
RP - Chad Qualls
RP - Matt Capps
RP - Jose Valverde
RP - Hideki Okajima (holds)
RP - Rafael Soriano (holds)
Here is the other team:
C - Yadier Molina
1B - Ryan Howard
2B - Alexei Ramirez
3B - A-Rod
SS - Derek Jeter
OF - Curtis Granderson
OF - Bobby Abreu
OF - Johnny Damon
Util - Todd Helton
BN - Andre Ethier
BN - Miguel Tejada
SP - Tim Lincecum
SP - Zack Grienke
SP - Chad Billingsley
SP - Ricky Nolasco
SP - Joba Chamberlain
RP - Joakim Soria
RP - David Aardsma
RP - Ryan Madson (holds)
RP - Jeremy Affeldt (holds)
RP - Frank Francisco
RP - Andrew Bailey
Any thoughts? Thanks, and WHIR!
