Who to pick up after 2 for 1 deal? WHIR

Postby booshball » Mon Apr 19, 2010 10:32 pm

Hey everyone, I've been to this site many times and I finally decided to join up. I'll definitely be here often to dish out any advice I can. In the meantime, I could use a little help myself. I just had a trade accepted in my standard 5x5 H2H league, I traded Adam Jones and Billy Wagner for Dan Haren. The player he's dropping will be Denard Span, and I'm wondering if I should use my #1 waiver priority to pick him up.
This is my team after the trade:

C- Victor Martinez
1B- Ryan Howard
2B- Ian Stewart
3B- Placido Polanco
SS- Elvis Andrus
OF- Adam Dunn
OF- Jacoby Ellsbury
OF- Carlos Gonzalez
UTIL- Carlos Pena
BN- Nyjer Morgan, Alexei Ramirez
DL- Brian Roberts

SP-Tim Lincecum
SP- Adam Wainwright
SP- Jon Lester
RP- Kevin Gregg
RP- Francisco Liriano
P- Dan Haren
P- Hiroki Kuroda
P- Jonathan Sanchez
BN- Scott Kazmir, Brad Penny
DL- Dice-K

Other FA available- Rios, Loney, McClouth, Coughlan, Blake, F. Gutierrez, Theriot, Rasmus
Pitchers- Vasquez, Qualls, Corriea, Niemann, Scherzer

I'm surprised Javier Vasquez got dropped and that he hasn't been picked up yet. Should I drop one of the pitchers I have for him, or make him the guy I pick up? Also, I'm kinda toying with the idea of punting saves, as you can probably tell.

Any help would really be appreciated, and WHIR for sure. Thanks!!!

I think you have plenty of pitching. I would pick up Span or Rios myself.

I'd probably grab Rios over Span based on your team make-up. I think his more balanced line will serve you better than Denard's SAGNOF skill-set.
