Pujols or Gonzalez?

Postby ECG77 » Sun May 16, 2010 8:02 pm

I have dropped dramatically from third to seventh place. I've been going out of my mind trying to figure out moves I need to make.

I am behind in RBIs, Runs, SOs, SBsERA, and Saves. What hurt me the most are guys going the DL. Both my speed guys Gomez and Cabrera are just came off the DL. De La Rosa has the SOs numbers but I have to wait for him. My OF is a bit thin and I may also look into another ace pitcher. Halladay?

Should I trade Pujols or Gonzalez to get what I need? Pujols and A-Gon have been very quiet and A-Gon being rumored in trade talks. What should I do? Below are the details of my league.

NL Only
5X5 Rotisserie
10 Teams
FA Dollars are allowed in trades

My roster as of now:

Active
Geovany Soto C
Yorvit Torrealba C
Albert Pujols 1B
Dan Uggla 2B
Scott Rolen 3B
Ian Desmond SS
Everth Carbrera MI
Adrian Gonzalez CI

Mark DeRosa OF (DL)
Jonny Gomes OF
Carlos Gomez OF (DL: Returns on the 19th)

Definitely keep Pujols. Gonzalez has gobs of value, even in his current slump. Play up the trade possibility if you have to, but Pujols is your rock.

Can I get a piece of advice on mine?

Gonzalez is your trade piece. you've got too many .250-.270 hitters on your roster to part with pujols. unless you get an offer you can't refuse for pujols, your trade bait should be AGonz

please help

On pretty much every front you just don't want to trade Pujols. I'd trade Gonzalez if you are pressed to make such a move. He'll fetch real nice value in a trade, so it's not like there is a huge drop off between letting go of Pujols or Gonzalez.

I'd shop Gonzalez for an ace. Don't part with Pujols, but you really could use a front-end SP to pair with Wainwright
