My Liriano for his Tex?

Postby WSU Tony » Sun May 02, 2010 9:08 pm

I'm in a league with a ton of Twins fans. Drafting Liriano in the 15th round IS the steal of the draft.

Is Liriano a top 5 pitcher or should I trade him for Tex?

FYI, I have Felix, J. Santana, Wainright, Oswalt, Peavy, and T. Hanson. for my pitching staff.

I would do this without hesitation. Your staff looks great and Tex is getting ready to go on a tear!!! Best of luck to you...

Would you mind helping me out here?

I should mention I have the normal 9 positions and then 3 UTL spots....


7 SP max.


Any other opinions?

Absolutely. Unless you really believe (which I dont) that Liriano will keep pitching at this level the whole season let alone stay healthy then you should do this deal.

Plus Teixeira is notorious for his slow starts. In fact, today he had 4 hits in a game against Chicago and is really starting to look better. Basically you are getting the benefits of having Tex without having to deal with the consequence of suffering his April slump. ;-D

...And even if you dont necessarily want him you are getting a good value and should be able to swap him for someone that fills a need.

Even if Liriano keeps pitching like this you're till better off with Tex. Do it as soon as possible.
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
