Time to move Brian Roberts??

[oldmanbean]

He is not helping at all obviously, and if my regular 2B goes down i would have to dump him. So, should I try to move him for a wamr body, or just cross my fingers and hope????

12 team points keeper league.
15 hitters, 10 pitchers.
1 point per TB, bb = 1, r = 1, rbi = 2, sb = 2, cs = -1
IP = 1, K = 1, W = 10, QS = 5, S = 5, BS = -5,L=-5,ER=-2,BB=-1
We start 1 at each position plus an EH. 6 pitchers, weeekly lineups



C G Laird 2, J Posada 5
1B M Cabrera 24, C Pena 11
2B K Johnson 7, B Roberts 19
3B A Ramirez 20, R Zimmerman 8
SS E Andrus 5, J Rollins 16
OF C Coghlan 5, J Damon 6, H Pence 10, C Rasmus 7, N Swisher 4
P B Anderson 12, H Bell 4, F Carmona 3, J Hammel 2, J Hellickson 5
I Kennedy 2, C Lee 15, B Matusz 8, J Niemann 6, A Wainwright 10

I think he has potential for a decent return if you package him in a deal as a "throw in." Don't make it look like you're trying to get rid of him solely but say something like "well how about I sweeten the deal with Roberts." Maybe for a McCann type player who is getting hot.

Good idea, but I have to move him to someone who has 3 players at 2B, otherwise they would be in the same predicament as me.

Unfortunately I do not have too much to move just to get a backup 2B. A few people want Ramirez, but they don't have 2B to spare.

Will check further, thanks.

First of all, you win the award for best avatar in the Cafe. Congratulations!


I forgot the exact question but you can't really trade roberts right now can you? I mean, it's not a "value" time to move him... and in trading, you should always be thinking about value.

I have him in a 10 team h2h auction league and am having the same thoughts. You've been patient this long, I think he has the potential to have a productive remainder of the season when he returns in June if you can hold out....

help?

Normally yes, but at least now I am not trading out of desperation, so the other owners may be a little nicer. If Johnson goes down, either have to drop on and pick up Adam Kennedy (!) or pray someone will trade at all.

I have 3 waiver picks left, and I have to save one for catcher and pitcher, and was hoping to improve my OF with the 3rd, not use it on 2nd base.

IF he comes back then. They are talking about the All-star break now. He is not going to be on my team next year anyway, too expensive ($21) so the time to move is now. Sort of like real baseball, when a player is going to leave, get something before he does.

Not the mama! that's what that baby dinosaur would say. that was bugging me.

Then go ahead and move him, or try to. I have know idea what you think you're going to get for him but you can expect an adrian beltre type offer.

Good luck

Thanks ... I would try to get an improvement somewhere, and have him be the sweetener.

How does Roberts/Pena for Stewart/Huff sound???

[oldmanbean]

Any more thoughts?? thanks!
