Should I trade CarGo? Abreu? WHIR

Postby sweettortilla » Wed Apr 28, 2010 5:26 pm

As you can see below, my team is strong in bats, weak in SP. I play in a 10-team, CBS Sportsline, Head to Head league. I'm 3-0 so far, and I'd like to keep my winning ways going, but I have long term concerns with my arms.

I'm looking for some ideas on how to improve my team.

Question 1 - Who would you move on my team?

I'm thinking Abreu and Carlos Gonzalez are my best bets, although I'm really reluctant to let them go. I love Abreu's underappreciated consistency and CarGo's amazing upside potential (plus he's blowing UP right now, but that's what gives him some trade value.)

I suppose I could try to move a closer like Rauch or Soriano as well, but I'm not sure

Question 2 - Who to target?

I'm thinking about going after Josh Beckett (notoriously slow April starter). Can you think of anyone else to go after?

Again, I appreciate your thoughts and ideas here. WHIR, for sure!

My team:

Batters
Martinez, Victor C BOS
Howard, Ryan 1B PHI
Phillips, Brandon 2B CIN
Wright, David 3B NYM
Tulowitzki, Troy SS COL
Abreu, Bobby RF ANA
Braun, Ryan J. LF MIL
Gonzalez, Carlos LF COL
Cabrera, Miguel DH DET
Pitchers
Bailey, Andrew RP OAK
Floyd, Gavin SP CHW
Garza, Matt SP TB
Gonzalez, Gio SP OAK
Nolasco, Ricky SP FLA
Rauch, Jon RP MIN
Soriano, Rafael RP TB
Chacin, Jhoulys RP COL
De La Rosa, Jorge SP COL
Jackson, Edwin SP ARI
Madson, Ryan RP PHI
Masterson, Justin SP CLE
Morales, Franklin RP COL
Rodriguez, Wandy SP HOU
Injured Pitchers
Street, Huston RP COL
Minors Pitchers
Tillman, Chris SP BAL

I think you've got the right idea about how to go about improving your team. Beckett and Lester would both be good targets, maybe even Verlander, and right now CarGo is definitely a sexy trade chip that could probably get you more value back than Abreu, even though their seasons will likely be similar.
