Trade- Keeper Implications

Postby GoTwinkiesGo » Fri Aug 07, 2009 11:31 pm

Here's the trade:

Give: Aaron Hill, V-Mart, Greinke
Get: Utley, Cain

here's my team:
12 Team H2H Keeper League (keep 6: 2 hitters/2 pitchers minimum) Extra Categories: H, OPS, BB, QS

C Victor Martinez......................SP Tim Lincecum
1B Miguel Cabrera......................SP Zach Greinke
2B Aaron Hill............................RP Rafael Soriano
3B Alex Rodriguez......................RP J.P. Howell
SS Orlando Cabrera.....................P Leo Nunez
OF Grady Sizemore.....................P Jason Fraser
OF Bobby Abreu.........................P Ricky Nolasco
OF Alex Rios............................BN Clayton Kershaw
Util Josh Willingham...................BN Joe Blanton
BN Miguel Montero.....................BN Jorge De La Rosa
BN Howie Kendrick.....................BN Jeff Neimann
DL Jose Reyes
DL Adrian Beltre

Ok, so here's the situation. Next year my keeper hitter options would be: Miggy, Arod, Utley, Reyes, and Sizemore. I would have to leave one out. Pitcher keeper options would be Timmy, Nolasco, Cain, or Kershaw. Timmy is obvious, the other is not... especially with walks as a category. Another hitch is that I could also pick up Webb as my 2nd keeper pitcher (he was just dropped).

So that's the keeper side. I'd probably package one of my hitters for a better pitcher option. Anyway, as for this year I am in contention and I don't think this trade cripples me too much, as I can slide montero in at catcher and cain is an adequate replacement for greinke, i suppose.

what do you guys think?
