Utley, Pence, Harden for Cano and Lester....

Postby CineMamet » Fri Apr 30, 2010 3:32 am

Ok, this is only an 8-team league. Yahoo, Roto.

He offered his Utley, Pence and Rich Harden for my Cano and Lester. Yeah, Harden is playing like junk, but the question is how much of an upgrade is Utley now that Cano is playing lights out? Also, we know that Cano usually starts off slow in the 1st half. Does this mean that Cano can be an equal to Utley this year (also, Utley slows down end of year)?

My offense is doing great so far. Because of the Red Sox' pitching struggles, I need W, SV, K and WHIP. Obviously, I wouldn't be getting that here. But should I do it based on value? Or am I losing that too?

C - Soto
1B - Votto
2B - Cano
3B - Reynolds
SS - Tulo
OF - Braun
OF - J. Upton
OF - Shin Soo Choo
Util - C. Pena
Util - Colby Rasmus
Util - D. Ortiz
Util - Adam Jones
Util - Ian Stewart
Util - Bret Gardner
DL - Brad Hawpe

My starters are Beckett, Lester, Hanson, Lackey, Wandy, David Price, Randy Wells, JA Happ and CJ Wilson.

I wouldn't do it. Cano and Utley are a wash at this point, so you would essentially be trading Lester for Harden and Pence. While Pence is an upgrade Harden is fail.
League Setup:
13 Team Points League
6 Hitters 3 Pitchers (Positions don't matter)
1B = 1, 2B = 2, 3B = 3, HR = 4, RBI = 1
Win = 12, Save = 5

Stay put 100%. I still think Utley will be slightly better than Cano from here on forward BUT Lester will be much better than Pence and Harden.....
