Do I need to try a trade? WHIR

Postby Brizee8 » Thu Mar 25, 2010 10:24 pm

I just completed an auction draft. It's a standard 5x5 roto league, 12 teams.

C: Mike Napoli
1B: Kendry Morales
2B: Martin Prado
3B: Chone Figgins
SS: Ben Zobrist
MI: Everth Cabrera
CI: Adam Dunn
OF: Justin Upton
OF: Adam Lind
OF: Jay Bruce
OF: Julio Borbon
OF: Drew Stubbs
UTIL: Lastings Milledge
BE: Scott SIzemore
BE: Cody Ross

P: Felix Hernandez
P: Ubaldo Jimenez
P: Yovani Gallardo
P: Brett Anderson
P: David Price
P: Francisco Liriano
P: Jonathan Papelbon
P: Carlos Marmol
P: Brad Lidge
BE: Neftali Feliz

Is my hitting weak? Starting pitching? Do I have enough power? Is there an area I really need to upgrade through trade?

Thanks for your help!

I think your pitching great. Perhaps too good--I am concerned about all of your infield spots and think trying to trade any one or two of your top 3 starting pitchers for some infield talent would be a very wise idea.

Would you focus on middle infield? Do I need more power there? Is my outfield okay?

Maybe I'll see if anyone in my league needs pitching.

I would focus on 2nd and 3rd base. Your outfield is also great. I wouldn't touch it. Power is always harder to get than pitching later on. And with Borbon and Figgins and Upton you should be fine on speed although I'd rather have Figgins as a second 3rd baseman...

I somewhat agree. Kendry(power/avg) and Chone(avg/speed) should give you solid numbers. A little worried about 2B in Prado, Zobrist should be ok. I would look to a team that is weak in SP and try to package Jiminez/Prado for a top end 2B (Utley/Hill/Pedroia/Kinsler)

I'm looking at the waiver wire right now. Would any of these names be worth picking up to help the infield until I can try to work out a trade?

Scott Rolen
Brandon Wood
Jhonny Peralta
Alberto Callaspo
Casey McGehee
Troy Glaus

Anything worthwhile there? Are Sizemore and Ross two I should drop?

I would drop Milledge for McGehee, just think Casey has a lot more upside.
