Crawford & Qualls for Teixeira?

Postby Donnie740 » Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:43 am

I don't understand why my team is sucking so badly - - I figured I'd put together a squad that would dominate this year, but I'm currently mired in 7th spot 21 points out of first.

I'm thinking I need more power and had an offer of Teixeira for my Crawford and Qualls. I know it's going to hurt me in SV & SB but can I afford not to get more power?

What about moving David Wright for Dunn & a RP like Marmol or Nunez? Only problem is that it would leave me with a MAJOR hole at 3B, likely to be filled with DeRosa. Is that a better option?

Maybe I'm gettign too anxious and these kind of deals will come back to sink my season for good.

Don't make a move that you will regret. I'm currently 15th from 16teams- that sucks and my roster is not filled with a bunch of Ortiz-guys (okay, I HAVE Ortiz but on BN)
You have Wright and Butler and they should be fine. Wright will do better and he will steal! a nice HR-rate with SB sounds good to me.

Wait until late May until you make a big move...it's roto and you can gain +15, +20 pts a day so it's not that catastrophic to be behind. Your time will come. (I'm saying this to me,too)

If you want to trade- trade Soriano as long as he is hot- I have the feeling he will cool down/ or go to the DL pretty soon. Try to get H.Pence or other "cold"-guys. (Pence is heating up so it will be tough to get a Soriano-Pence deal but try it)
It would be nice to know what you did with our advice - so please write a short reply

I feel like Tex would be more of a luxury for you. You need Carl for his SB's. Wait it out for a little while longer ;-D
