Jacoby Ellsbury for Johan Santana?

Postby JDPuterbaugh » Sat May 15, 2010 9:19 pm

In a 12-team roto league (3-year keeper):

While my adequate offense slowly comes around, it is apparent that I have a gaping hole at the pitcher's spot. Another manager is shopping Johan Santana and I'm considering offering Jacoby Ellsbury (who'll come off his early DL stint in the next couple weeks) for him. This will hurt in SB and his usually dependable .300 average, but I feel like the rest of my offense should come around to compensate for him. Here's my roster:

C: Yadi Molina (and Miguel Montero, who'll come off DL in coming weeks)
1B: Pujols
2B: Robinson Cano
3B: Aramis Ramirez, Martin Prado
SS: Miguel Tejada, Yunel Escobar
LF: Alfonso Soriano, Johnny Damon, Raul Ibanez
CF: Torii Hunter (Ellsbury coming off DL soon)
RF: Magglio Ordonez

Pitchers:
Brian Wilson
Jonathan Papelbon
Johnathan Sanchez
Jhoulys Chacin
Gavin Floyd
Ted Lilly
Jeff Niemann
CC Sabathia

What do people think? I appreciate any feedback you have. Thanks for your time.

Not loving it. Santana is no longer a definite Top 10 pitcher, more in the 8-15 range.

Ellsbury makes this team go. I could see if he gave you something else. I also think Ellsbury is a much better keeper.

I doubt your counterpart will part with Santana for just Ellsbury.

I would rather see you part with someone else than Ellsbury and maybe shoot for a little lower than Johan. I think it would be a fair deal but would rather have Ellsbury in this instance.

please help
