Billingsley and D. Lee for Texiera?

Postby Hawkeye1 » Sat Feb 06, 2010 3:41 pm

I'm in a 15 team roto keeper league. We can keep up to 7 players in exchange for the draft pick they were selected with last year.

Our categories are: Doubles + Triples, HRs, KOs, On Base %, Runs, RBIs - HRs, Stolen Bases - Caught Stealing, Slugging %, WHIP, Wins - Loses, Net Saves, Ks, HRs Allowed, Holds, ERA, and Complete Games/Shut Outs/No Hitters.

Our positions: 2 Cs, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, Middle Infielder, Corner Infielder, 5 OFs, DH and any 9 pitchers. There are also 9 bench spots.

Here are the guys I'm considering plus their draft round. I've also included players that I think may have some trade value. Obviously, I'll be looking to package some of these guys for upgrades. I've put asterix by the guys I'm likely keeping. Texiera would be a 2nd round pick. Would I be giving up too much for him?
A-Rod - 1*
Derrek Lee - 2
Ryan Zimmerman - 3*
Joe Nathan - 4
Carlos Zambrano - 5
Chad Billingsley - 10*
Miguel Montero - 11
Hideki Matsui - 12
Ryan Doumit - 19
BJ Upton - 20*
Carlos Quentin - 21*
Jon Lester - 22*
Cliff Lee - 29*

Teixeira is just fine as a second round keeper. I think he's the 6th best player available this year.

Bills in round 10 is good value but you don't pass on reasonably priced studs.

You definitely are not giving up too much for the stud, Teix. You can't pass up that deal and have him as a keeper.

I would make this trade in a heartbeat. Billingsley is a nice pitcher but he still needs to get himself in order. Lee is very tradeable as his best days are behind him. You are getting a top tier player with Tex. He is in one of the most potent lineups in baseball and will put up beastly numbers.

Help with mine?

i would jump at this trade. tex's numbers will only get better with arod hitting in front of him for a full year. billingsley needs to show more consistency and i don't see lee repeating the kind of year he had.

I would do it, D. Lee is 75 and Billingsley is too inconsistent. Tex is probably the #2 first baseman in the game and hits in an amazing Yankees lineup. I would def do it.
