Sell on Butler for Lester??

[skjelstrom]

Obviously I'm expecting a rebound from Lester and hoping the owner is panicking with him right now. The owner of Lester is having a terrible time with his hitters but solid with his pitchers.

I give: Butler and Capps
I get: Lester

I'm trying to get rid of Capps while he still has a good value but I'm scared to give up Butler because im expecting a big year... Should I do it?

And just for information I have 1B filled already by Miggy I'm just using Butler as UTIL but a good one might I add. lol. Also I have Haren, Hamels, Garza, Bucholz, Matusz, and Marcum as my pitchers.

If he doesn't bite what should I offer or do I not need him?

Thanks! whir

Based on the starters you listed, Lester seems like a luxury. Butler and Capps for Lester is definitely a good buy low price for Lester, but I don't think it's a move that you necessarily need to make.

Would you drop Marcum for Floyd then? He recently went on the Waivers and I think he has more potential and upside than Floyd but im not sure.

Lester will definitely come around this season. You have a pretty decent corps of SPs though, I don't know if you really need to add him at the expense of two players. That said, I think Butler has been overrated and over-hyped to start the season. And If you really don't want to deal Capps, then maybe go for it.
