Rollins for Ichiro WHIR!

Postby Kuji » Wed Aug 12, 2009 9:48 am

He offers Ichiro Suzuki and Marco Scutaro
I give Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Zimmerman

This is a standard 12-team H2H Yahoo! League.
My team:
C - Yadier Molina'
1B - Morneau
2B - Aaron Hill
3B - Ryan Zimmerman
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
OF - Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Juan Rivera
Util - Billy Butler
BN - Jimmy Rollins, Chone Figgins, Josh Hamilton, Nate McLouth
SP - Joba Chamberlain, Matt Garza
RP - Francisco Rodriguez, Bobby Jenks
P - Rafael Soriano, Adam Wainwright, Chad Qualls
BN - Frank Francisco

His team:
C - Sandoval
1B - Mark Texeira
2B - Scutaro
3B - Branyan
SS - Gordon Beckham
OF - Soriano, Vladimir Guerrero, Ichiro
Util - Raul Ibanez
BN -Willingham, Asdrubal Cabrera
SP - Happ, Pedro Martinez (o.0)
RP - Hoffman, Capps
P - Tommy Hunter, Neftali Feliz, Mat Latos
BN - Tommy Hanson, Wandy, Randy Wells

As you guys may have noticed, I have two top SS, which is not bad, but it takes some space and I got room to improve on the OF (i think). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Interesting offer, but I think you'd be thin at 3B without Zimm -- my suggestion is you try to pry Beckham away from him in this deal, since he qualifies at 3B. If you can add Beckham to the deal and throw in someone like McLouth, I'd do the deal.

Help me?

So you say:
Rollins, Zimmerman and McLouth for Ichiro, Beckham and Scutaro?

Ichiro has a history of not really stealing many bases in September when the team is out of the race ... whereas Zimm has been crushing it and Rollins (finally) is playing well.

definitely no for the first trade, and i dunno how people can think that Beckham and Zimmerman are equal, you essentially give up the 2 best players in the trade, and don't get enough upgrades elsewhere to make up for the loss... Ichiro bats for a good average, but so does Zimmerman so what would you be gaining? Rollins has good SB totals, Beckham will get you a couple but not enough value... i look at it like this...

Rollins>=Ichiro (give Rollins a slight edge because of position, but equalled out a bit because of Ichiro's higher average)
McClouth/Zimmerman>>>Beckham/Scutaro...

not even close and the first one is even worse...

Rollins>=Ichiro
Zimmy>>>>Scutaro...

Great thanks to soto for the sweet sig!...
