My Longoria/Verlander for his Cano/Teixeira? WHIR guaranteed

Postby richiro » Thu May 20, 2010 12:42 am

I'm sick of having Aaron Hill as my starting 2B, so I was thinking about ways to improve. I have some nice pitchers (besides the RP's %-6) so I feel like I absorb the hit on losing Verlander. Thoughts on this offer?


10 team H2H Standard Cats with OPS and QS

C - Mauer
1B - M. Reynolds
2B - A. Hill
SS - Bartlett
3B - Longoria
OF - McCutchen
OF - C. Gonzalez
OF - Podsednik
UT - Adam Jones
UT - B. Butler
DL - Beltran

SP - Greinke
SP - Verlander
RP - Dotel
RP - Corpas
P - Buchholz
P - Kershaw
P - Peavy
B - C. Lewis
B - Lidge
B - T. Hudson
B - Jenks
B - Hoffman

I don't like it.. Longoria is the best player in the deal IMO. And your starting pitching isn't that deep where you can justify getting rid of an ace like Verlander. I like the idea of making a play for Cano, but not with that package.

Help please

Aaron Hill is thus far a big disappointment but he has 6 RBIs and 2 HR with 5 walks in his last six games. It's a small consolation but maybe he's getting it.
I would wait and ride his slump out.

Hill+Adam Jones = :~(
It would be nice to know what you did with our advice - so please write a short reply

Longoria is the best player in the deal, and Verlander is no slouch. I would stand pat.

I'm going to disagree, Longoria is the best player in the deal but Tex is elite, and Cano is far stronger than Verlander. But I don't think your team can handle the loss of Verlander. You would have to make another move to fill in your roster if you did do this. Lidge/Hoffman eh...tough turn there

I keep Longo, Verlander is pretty good as well to where you SP's would be taking a larger than expected hit. Maybe Piece something else together to get Cano?
