Utley for Braun?

Postby TheNatinals » Wed Dec 23, 2009 1:29 am

Team info - 10 team 6x5 roto dynasty league (OPS is the extra category, we keep all players permanantly, no salary)

Ok, so I have the following players on my team:

2B - Utley
MI - Cano
Bench - G. Beckham

OF - Kemp
OF - Pence
OF - Bourn
OF - Werth

I could probably get a guy in my league to swap me Braun for Utley, which would be a huge improvement over Pence or Bourn (although Bourn did help me crush the SB category last year).

More importantly, I could slide Cano in at 2B and play G. Beckham in the MI slot. If Beckham sucks, at least I can replace him with a SS or 2B since he's in a swing position. With Braun in, I can flip Pence for pitching help.

Thoughts?

Pretty even swap, but I prefer Braun by a bit over Utley in a dynasty.

very interesting question.With you having 2 middle infielders this deal makes alot of sense for you. Keeping players forever sides with Braun too.

I think this is a pretty easy win for you. You should get good production from either of those 2B and possibly both.

With Cano already around, this one can be considered a no-brainer. Go with Braun.
