I am way behind in innings, over a 100 under the innings max., but have a solid core to my staff with Harang, Verlander, Jeff Weaver, Zombrano. Aside from these starters I have Volquez on the DL and Marcum on the DL. I have been spot starting which has been gong ok. I am doing fine in pitching but these categories are very close and just by catching up in innings I stand to make up a lot of ground in these categories.
I have a very deep OF. Soriano, B.J. Upton, Justin Upton and Sizemore. Obviously I have been benching Soriano for most of the last month. I am holding my own in runs and SB but not doing so well in HR RBI and Avg. I think my hitting can rebound as most of these guys slumped big in the first half.
I have been offered Greinke straight up for Sizemore. Greinke has done very well this season but his last few starts and career trends coupled with the fact that he plays for a terrible team makes me hesitant. But I also think the Indians could shut down Sizemore considering they have no chance at making the playoffs. So I am leaning towards getting some value for him.
Do you think this is a wise move? I could just stick with the spot start approach. Or maybe I should deal Zimmerman and play Barmes who has been looking very good.
Any help is appreciated.
