Give up Ibanez for Johan?

Postby yankeekd25 » Sun Jul 26, 2009 3:15 am

I'm in first place by a few games in a 10 team H2H 5x5 standard yahoo league.

I think I would do it, as Ibanez is performing above expectations and is starting to level out and Johan is a big game pitcher, not only do you get a big boost to your SP but can play Holliday in the OF

help with mine?

Raul landed in a dream situation in a lineup with Utley, Howard, Rollins, Victorino, and Werth and in a really small ballpark. You think he's going to eventually just stop producing? The Mets are very bad right now and have give Johan 8 losses. I know the era and K's are still good. Would you rather have Holliday over Ibanez then? I countered with Holliday but the owner declined it.

In STL hitting behind Pujols could reap great power numbers in the second half, and hopefully the Mets pull there head out of their collective asses and start playing better.
