My Carlos Lee/Capps for Bay/Rauch? WHIR

[angels7777]

I do own several closers, but is Bay that much of an upgrade over Lee? If I made that deal I could probably drop Rauch for a guy like Matusz or Wade Davis.

10 teams H2H non-keeper 5x5

C- Montero
1B- M-Cab
2B- Kinsler
3B- Reynolds
SS- Reyes
OF- Braun, C. Lee, N. Cruz
UTIL- Rios
BN Bruce

SP- Johan Santana
SP- Hamels
RP- F. Francisco
RP- Marmol
SP- Kershaw
SP- Nolasco
SP- B. Anderson

BN- Oswalt, Slowey, Kuroda, Liriano, Pettite
BN- Jenks, Capps, M. Gonzo

In HRs and RBIs. Lee and Bay are the same. Bay is an upgrade in steals by about 10 and in runs by about 40. He's a downgrade of about 20 points in AVG, but you already have Kinsler, Reynolds, Cruz, and Bruce so you're probably know you won't win AVG a lot weeks anyways. Since the closers don't matter, I'd do the deal.

Agreed, and also, Bay is MUCH better for walks than Carlos Lee ... like nearly double the walks I I think.

WALKS is not a category in this league.......

Don't do it, especially if you are going to drop Rauch anyways. Then you'll have 2 closers, which will be below average for your league (especially since they're on the Nats and O's).

[angels7777]

uh... I also have Frank Francisco and Marmol so I have a total of 5 closers right now...

I countered with Lee/Capps for Bay/Rauch and he took it.....

I think I upgraded my OF because I really had no need for Capps, especially in a 10 teamer....

I like it with Capps instead of Jenks. The closer didn't matter that much to you and you did get a slight upgrade at OF. Lee and Bay are close, but Bay is slightly better and Lee is on the downswing. So you improved your team.

I don't agree that Lee is on the down swing. Every year people say the same thing about him. Every year he puts up .300.30/100
