Hanley for Braun?

Postby kmoneybags » Sat Mar 20, 2010 4:33 pm

NL Only. 10 teams. 6x6 (OPS and Holds). 5 keepers with a credit system.

My team so far (in the middle of the draft - 2nd year of the league)

c- Miguel Montero
1b- Prince Fielder
2b- Casey McGehee
3b- Ian Stewart
ss- Hanley Ramirez
of- Justin Upton
of- Jay Bruce
of- Corey Hart
util- Rafael Furcal

sp- Johan Santana
sp- Clayton Kershaw
rp- Heath Bell
rp-
p- Roy Oswalt
p-
p-

I basically drafted Furcal to see if this is what I wanted to do. Although Hanley is just worth a bit more than Braun, do you guys think I should make this move?

Though Braun is the top OF out there, I'd rather have Hanley. Who knows if Furcal bounces back this year? The difference between Hanley and Furcal could be pretty significant. If Furcal starts the year the way he did back in 2008, he could be good trade candidate.

No, because Furcal is cooked IMO, and Hanley is worth more at any rate.

Hanley hands down.
Furcal doesnt have much left. SS too thin.

Stay with Hanley no doubt! Your team would compete in a 10 team mixed league. In a 10 team NL Only your team has to be the favorite to win. I would not make any moves unless I was significantly getting the better end of the deal....stay put.

definitely stick with Hanley here. Gives you a great advantage at SS and as others have said I wouldn't want to trust Furcal
