Help: DIDN'T DRAFT A CATCHER!!

Postby husker43 » Sat Apr 03, 2010 12:38 pm

12 team H2H on yahoo ----- Runs, HR, RBI, SB, AVG W, K, SV, ERA, WHIP

I have drafted a team with no catchers. Another team has Victor Martinez and Wieters and keeps sending me offers since I said i needed one.

He proposed my Hanley Ramirez for his Victor Mart & yunel escobar. Dumb? Is there a better offer that works in my favor. I have 7 "Closing" Pitchers I might add.

C --empty--
1B Adrian Gonzalez
2B Brandon Phillips
3B Michael Young
SS Hanley Ramirez
OF Grady Sizemore
OF Carlos Lee
OF Hunter Pence
Util Alex Rios
Util Chris Coghlan
BN Gordon Beckham
BN Franklin Gutierrez

SP Adam Wainwright
SP Yovani Gallardo
RP Carlos Marmol
RP Rafael Soriano
P Frank Francisco
P Mike Gonzalez
P Matt Capps
P Octavio Dotel
BN Brandon Webb
BN Scott Baker
BN J.A. Happ
BN Jon Rauch

His Team:
C Victor Martinez
1B Albert Pujols
2B Ian Stewart
Brandon Inge

Yeah trading Hanley for Vmart is a seriously bad idea, don't do it. :-t Don't trade from weakness. Counter with Rios and Happ or Rauch for VMart.

IMO just pick up Ianetta, Clement or Ruiz and go with that for a while. You could try to shake loose a better C with one of your closers, or just go with what you have.

Grab Ianetta and ride him out for a while. He should give you decent numbers from your C slot.

I wouldn`t even deal with a guy who`s trying to offer up Vmart and Yunel for Hanley. Pretty ludicrous.

No way you should make that trade. Put Webb on the DL and pickup Ianetta. Keep an eye on Posey during the season.

Bad deal.

I am in similar place... No Ianetta to fall on either... I am flipping coin on Ruiz and Clement. Grab one of three remaining catchers as stated about. I like their order.

HELP ME? It's a quickie.
