I'm in first place by a few games in a 10 team H2H 5x5 standard yahoo league.
I was just offered Johan Santana for Raul Ibanez. I have an extra hitter that I want to get some value for. Is it worth giving up Raul for Johan? He's not really the same pitcher he was.
Here's my team: C-Sandoval 1B- Pujols 2B- Roberts 3B- A-Rod SS- Jeter OF- Man Ram OF- Braun OF- Ibanez Util- Longoria or Holliday
C Brian McCann (Atl - C) 1B Joey Votto (Cin - 1B) 2B Chase Utley (Phi - 2B) 3B Mark Reynolds (Ari - 1B,3B) SS Yunel Escobar (Atl - SS) OF Ryan Ludwick (StL - OF) OF Michael Bourn (Hou - OF) OF Luke Scott (Bal - OF) Util Kendry Morales (LAA - 1B,OF)
SP Johan Santana (NYM - SP) SP Randy Wells (ChC - SP,RP) RP Matt Capps (Pit - RP) RP Kevin Gregg (ChC - RP) P Jos? Valverde (Hou - RP) P Jair Jurrjens (Atl - SP) P Zack Greinke (KC - SP)
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

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.
10 Team H2H 6x6 C- B. Molina 1B- G. Jones (Berkman) 2B- Weeks (Kinsler) 3B- Arod SS- Tejada OF- Manny OF- Ethier OF- Magglio Util- Matsui BN- C Lee DL- Beltran
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.
