My pitching needs help, believe it or not. I think I can probably find better hitting talent on waivers than i can pitching talent. Should I make this trade? His team is 45 games back, mine 28.5 games back...
I give: Nate McLouth I get: Cliff Lee
12 Team H2H league, with 6 Keepers -- (SO I have to choose 6 to keep for next year. All player are keeper eligible, but those with a "K" are under contract and go back into the draft after 2010, the others after 2011).
C Wieters 1B Pujols (K) 2B Pedroia (K) SS Jeter (K) 3B A-Rod (K) OF Damon (K) OF McLouth (K) OF N.Morgan UT Longoria UT Votto (K) UT Napoli B Griffey, H.Matsui
SP Sabathia (K), Halladay (K), Billingsley, Oswalt, Kershaw, Volstad, A.Cook, Blanton RP Broxton, Street
Agreed, good deal. Cliff Lee's value has taken quite a nice bump with the move to Philly. I like McLouth ok, but his .260-ish average leaves me a little cold.
I have to agree with the others. It helps your team and McLouth is not a huge loss. Just try to filter in the hot bat and you should be fine. Im kinda surprised that Lee is coming this cheap. In all my leagues the owners want a king's ransom for it...
This is a steal for you, but you don't need more pitching. However if you think there are solid hitters available in the free agent pool I would still do it. It is really such a one sided deal that I would pull the trigger even though you don't really need any more SP's. Your outfield is pretty weak though...see if you can dump Oswalt for a mid level outfielder.
no joke. go ahead and do this now, and grab a neglected of off waivers.
