Keeper League Help - WHIR

[theinflatinator91]

This is a 12 team keeper league. It is basic 5 x 5, h2h league. Six teams make the playoffs.

I have been jumping from 5 to 7 place in this league. only 1 game separates me (7th) from the fifth place team. We keep 12.

I was just offered Adam Jones for my Tommy Hanson... I dont really like it because Hanson is the man. I think I may counter with Jones/Price for Hanson.

I really want to make a playoff push this year. I took over this team which finished 10th last year and want to win!!! Would you trade Webb? And if you would what could I realistically expect for him?

You can ask for Price, but Jones for Hanson is a very fair offer. I wouldn't count on the counter being accepted.

The problem with the offer is that you have to send Ludwick to the bench. I'm not the biggest Ludwick fan, but I think he'll be a good player. I'm not sure it's worth losing a keeper pitcher to move from Ludwick to Jones.

I think you could trade Webb, and you have the pitching depth to do so. You might be able to get a solid older player (someone who will help you this year, but isn't the best keeper). But it depends on the league.

If you want to make a push this year, then trade Webb. Who knows how effective he'll be going forward?

You need 1B. I think you could get Votto for him. Maybe aim higher for a Youkilis, or buy low on Berkman?

Like mozart said, if you make a move of either Hanson or Webb, I would be looking a first base upgrade in the trade. Jones is a fine player and a fair deal for Hanson, but upgrading Lopez at first should be your biggest need for a playoff run.

That is what I figured, I will try to nab Votto.

[theinflatinator91]

Actually that is not going to happen looking at his roster his only first baseman is Votto...

The guy with Youk has him as his only third baseman.

How can I get Prince? This guy has both Prince and Howard...
