Jimenez or Billingsley? WHIR

[DaveClay12]

Here's my roster (the important part):
----------------------------------------------------
6x6 weekly HtH 14 team roto keeper (bet. 5 and 10 keepers losing a draft pick for each after 5)

Off Categories:
BA, OPS, RBI, HR, SB and Runs Scored.

Pitching Categories:
W, S, ERA, K/IP, Losses minus Quality Starts and WHIP
----------------------------------------------------
My Roster

C: Victor Martinez
1B: Billy Butler
2B: Ian Kinsler
SS: Jose Reyes
3B: Ryan Zimmerman
OF: Carlos Quentin
OF: Ryan Braun
OF: Shin Soo Choo
U: Nolan Reimold

Bench:

SP: Jake Peavy
SP: Yovanni Gallardo
SP: Josh Johnson
SP: Chad Billingsley
SP: Ryan Dempster
RP: Randy Wells
RP: Trevor Hoffman
RP: Jose Valverde

Bench: Jorge De La Rosa

Minors (free keepers): Madison Bumgarner (SP-SF), Brian Matusz (SP - Bal), Christian Friedrich (SP-COL), Jason Castro (C-Hou), Empty slot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My definite keepers are V-Mart, Kinsler, Reyes, Zimmerman, Braun, Peavy, Gallardo and Johnson. That leaves two spots for the rest of my roster. Right now, Billingsley is in one of those spots. I've been offered Jimenez and Martin Perez, a top-25 SP prospect for Texas, for Billingsley and Butler, who would be in competition for that last spot.

What do you think?

Leave a link, and I'm happy to help you out.

Thanks,

Dave

you are probably going to think I'm crazy but I wouldn't keep Peavy. Something about him scares me, especially coming to the American league.

I would keep the following players Vmart, Kinsler, Reyes, Zimmerman, Quentin, Braun, Johnson, Gallardo and Jimenez. I think this would best set you up for next season, I would try to trade Billingsley and Peavy for a 1B, I'm sure someone will bite.

I would rather have Billinsley and Butler as my keepers.

[DaveClay12]

Yeah, but if I trade away Butler, I get Perez, and the opportunity to keep Quentin, Choo, or Valverde potentially... So the question is, would you rather go with Billingsley and Butler, or Jimenez, Quentin/Choo/Valverde and Perez.

I'm not a believer in Butler, and as a former Billingsley owner, I just can't trust the guy. I'd prefer Jiminez/Valverde/Perez personally.

Thanks for your help on mine.

I would not do the trade if I were you. I like Jimenez over Bills myself, but losing Butler would hurt. You have enough minor league SP's already that you don't really need Perez at the cost of losing Butler. I would then keep...

I would do the deal for Jimenez. I prefer Jimenez to Billingsley, and think essentially swapping Butler for Quentin (who I'd keep post trade) could turn out to be close to a wash. Toss in that you'd be getting Martin Perez and I think you are looking at icing on the cake. I'd do the deal.
