Thoughts on this 5 for 3?

Postby converge241 » Sun Jul 19, 2009 10:56 am

12 team weekly H2H keeper Keep 4 and lose 1st 4 rounds

we start: C,1B,2B,3B,SS,MI,CI,OF,OF,OF,U,U, and 6 P (any P) and use OBP v. AVG

I send: Wieters, Lincecum, Liriano

I get: Sandoval (has C 1B 3B), Josh Hamilton, Werth, Hamels, Billingsley

Im fine in pitching stats for the most part-in the top quandrants of all the pitching categories (at least 3rd in all) and while lincecum is the best pitcher in this deal id say billingsley and hamels and 2 and 3 and Liriano is 4

having power issues all year which hamilton will help with for sure

I would have liked to keep wieters but im a play for now type of guy if I have to choose

heres the roster before the deal

C- Wieters
1B - Adrian Gonzalez
2B- Uggla
3B - Edwin Encarnacion
SS - Rollins
CI - Kendry Morales
MI -Stephen Drew
OF - Crawford
OF - Manny
OF Juan Rivera
Util - Nelson Cruz
Util - Peralta
BN - Francouer
BN - Magglio
BN - Doumit
BN- Chris Davis
DL - Carlos Guillen

P - Lincecum, Felix, Liriano, Bailey, Qualls, Buehrle
BN - Kerry Wood, Ervin Santana
DL - Slowey

would be cutting probably francouer and davis if I do the deal..or mags might be in there, i have options to cut

your thoughts? Thx!

If you're looking for power, Hamilton hasn't hit more than 15 homeruns since last year's hrderby. His power numbers have fallen way down. Werth in this deal will get you many more dingers. I would see if he has anyone besides Hamilton to put in the deal, the rest of it looks good, but who knows if Hamilton will have more than 5 the rest of the way.

I will personally vouch for hamilton the rest of the way, 5 HR thats silly, I wouldnt be shocked if he put up 5 in a homestand. Either way I like this deal, who would you be dropping to accommodate the extra players?

Fair deal, and not bad for you. Werth and Hamilton could really shore up your lineup, and though you're losing Lincecum, Hamels and Billingsley are both high-end guys who've struggled this year. Francoeur, Mags, and Davis can all be dropped without losing sleep.

I don't like you losing Lincecum because he's so unbelievable to me...But with everything you're getting, I would take this deal. I think Pablo is more valuable than Wieters for this year and next year as well. I think they rushed Wieters and they are giving him a lot of pressure with such fast and high expectations. No doubt he will be a star, just might hit some bumps in the road. Pablo is safe, sound, and consistent. I used to put lots of value into catcher, but those days are over for me...I always get burned when I take a catcher high while drafting. This year Russell Martin is burning me. ---I don't like Liriano, I feel like he's always going to be a little too inconsistent and will drive you mad. I don't believe Hamilton is on the downfall, he's just too good and his bat swings with ease when he hits them out. More homeruns to come, especially in HOT Texas. I believe Werth is the real deal and will continue to hit them out with men in scoring position as well--Hits for a good team with lots of RBI chances. Hamels and Billingsley are safe bets more next year and years to come as well. I would also like to hear who goes from your team to make space. Nice trade and thanks for helping me. ;-D

Thx for the input Jackie exactly listed the 3 names I was looking at cutting..i picked up all 3 as free agents and was hoping some team would come calling for davis as a keeper if they were believers..francouer was hoping the mets would jumpstart him (hes obviously a OBP killer) and hoping Mags would wake up..all FA flyers easy to cut

Lincecum is actually my favorite player period (piles of his merchandise, jersey etc) but obviously I wont let that stop me from trading him lol
