His Lincecum for my Kemp?

[RIP HB]

The trade would be his t. lincecum for my m. kemp.

We haven't drafted yet but my other keepers are the following (12 team league):
Derek Jeter
Brandon Phillips
Carlos Lee
Matt Cain (Maybe. Haven't decided yet)

Should I take Lincecum?
Thanks.

First off, can I see your entire roster from years end...

Secondly, how big is your league, whats your scoring type and how many of each starting position do you have???

Without me seeing that, it's really hard to give you a definitive answer dude...

+1

Straight value you are looking at giving up the #2 OF overall for the #1 SP overall. In that case I would stick with Kemp.

But like previously posted, post your League size, League scoring type and your starting positions. Also was your best SP Cain? And no youth in your bats? What are the keeper requirements? This info would be better to give to get a much more solid answer. I see your just starting out on here so this is the learning curve, but post that information for better answers! Good luck!

[BigBlue]

Absolutely... Think of it this way, the more information we get, the better and more accurate answer you're going to get from us!!!

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies.

how big is your league

My league is a 12 team league. 19 roster spots (C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, CI, MI, 3 OF, and Utility for hitting. 5 SP's, 3 RP's for pitching)

whats your scoring type

Scoring type is 6 Hitting & 6 Pitching categories. Points accumulate over the season. Person with most points at the end wins:
For hitting...AVG, HR, OPS, R, RBI, SB
For pitching...ERA, K, W, L, S, WHIP

Can I see your entire roster from years end...

Here's my year end roster (my current keeper possibilities are marked with an asterisk.:
Batters:

* Phillips, Brandon 2B CIN
* Jeter, Derek SS NYY
* Lee, Carlos N. LF HOU
* Kemp, Matt CF LA
Pierzynski, A.J. C CHW
Helton, Todd 1B COL
Feliz, Pedro 3B HOU
Callaspo, Alberto 2B KC
Butler, Billy 1B KC
Abreu, Bobby RF ANA
Hunter, Torii CF ANA
Swisher, Nick CF NYY
Drew, J.D. RF BOS
Guillen, Carlos LF DET
Rasmus, Colby CF STL
Wallace, Brett 3B TOR

Pitchers:

* Billingsley, Chad SP LA
* Cain, Matt SP SF (possible keeper. Not positive I should keep him)
Baker, Scott SP MIN
Hamels, Cole SP PHI
Pineiro, Joel SP ANA
MacDougal, Mike RP WAS
Marmol, Carlos RP CHC
Nunez, Leo RP FLA
Scherzer, Max SP DET
Lindstrom, Matt RP HOU

Thanks again!

Stick with Kemp, you need the hitting help. You need pitching help too, but that'll be easier to get in the draft.

I'm assuming that you keep 5 players, correct? If so, I'd keep the following:

C:
1B: Butler
2B: Phillips
MI:
CI:
SS: Jeter
3B:
OF: Kemp
Util:

SP: Hamels (He doesn't have to be the #1 on his team anymore...)
RP:

If you're able to, try and trade for a better SP or final keeper instead of Jeter if possible... I'm keeping Butler over Lee because of the decline in overall production from Lee and age...

[bazzy_51]

Yes keep Kemp...

My keepers from your squad would be:

Kemp
Jeter
Phillips
Carlos Lee

Bills
Hamels (instead of Cain)

OR

I may also just take a chance and go with this, then worry about nothing but hitting to start the draft...
Kemp
Jeter
Phillips
Billingsley
Hamels
Cain

Again, if you choose to go with the second set of keepers your top picks HAVE to be bats. I personally would probably go with the 2nd set of keepers as I think all three are locks for 13-16 W, Hamels and Cain for around 190 Ks apeice, Bills for 200 Ks and all with ERAs under 3.60...Then hitting is a MUST in the top rounds!

Based on his original post, I believe he can only keep 5...

Yes sorry, my brain was going faster then my fingers...

Take Cain off both lists and keep the exact same information for both...
