Injuries killing me...help?!!!

Postby emenewe5 » Tue May 18, 2010 11:45 am

15-team, points-league

I've got 5 players on my DL: Webb, Haap, Lidge, Jurgens and Asdrubal. But we only have two DL spots. We're allowed to use one DL spot for a minor leaguer, if we choose, and I have big hopes for Pedro Alvarez who's taking-up a spot right now. So, that's 5 DL'd players for 1 DL spot.

Can I trade any of these arms and actually get "something" in return?
I've got an offer of Andruw Jones for Haap...should I consider that?
Am I right to hold onto Alvarez?
What are your thoughts on Webb?

Freaking out here...help please?!

Bump...

I know it's a vague question and I forgot my (WHIR) stamp but I'd really appreciate some help...and yes, I WHIR. ;-)

Thanks!

I have Happ in an NL only league and we plan on shopping him real soon. He is having good reports which brings up his value. I don't know much on Jones as I don't follow the AL at all. But in your situation, if you think you are getting value- I'd pull the trigger. Happ's injury has happened to him before and it bothered him for a year. We are also worried about the mental aspect of his DL stint.

As for the rest of the guys- Webb would be the first to go for me. I don't think he has broken 85 on the radar for the last year, even when he is able to throw. I think to expect a return to form this year is ludicrous. Now, if you got him as a $5 flier in a keeper league, it could be a different story. And we had a guy overpay for Webb and we laughed at him. Now that he is trying to trade him to no avail, we still laugh at him.

If you have found this helpful, I could use some feedback on the H. Ramires for U. Jiminez thread.

Peace man
