Howard for Braun....should I do it??? whir

Postby Elsy » Sat May 22, 2010 11:44 pm

12 team Yahoo public (1 year league) standard 5x5 scoring
Currently in 8th 9 games out of 1st

Get - Ryan Braun/Adam Wainwright
Give - Ryan Howard/Tim Lincecum

Roster:
C - Yadier Molina
1B - Ryan Howard
2B - Aaron Hill
3B - Gordan Beckham
SS - Ryan Theriot
OF - Vernon Wells, Ryan Ludwick, Julio Borbon
UTIL - Kendry Morales, Billy Butler
BN - Grady Sizemore(DL), Rafael Furcal(DL), Brian Roberts(DL)

SP - Tim Lincecum, Johnny Cueto, Yovani Gallardo, Matt Cain, Wandy Rodriguez, Shaun Marcum, Johan Santana
RP - Fernando Rodney, Chad Qualls, Chris Perez

Furcal will hopefully be back tomorrow (don't have to drop anyone to activate him if he is) and hopefully Roberts is back soon (just released from hospital)

Is the small statiscal drop from Lince to Wainwright enough for the flip from Howard to Braun?

I just dropped Beckham and picked up Encarnacion (4HR in last 2 games) and Julio Borbon for Jonny Gomes

Yes, especially when you have two 1b as your UT.

Lincecum is dominant, but so is Wainwright, and, though a dropoff, I'd say there is a better chance that Wainwright>Lincecum than Howard>Braun.

Yeah, I'd probably do that. It's close, but I like Braun more than Howard.

At first I went. Oh Lincecum. But I thought about it. Lince and Wainwright are preety close. I like Braun more than Howard. So for me I like the deal.

Agreed. Braun's just much more versatile than Howard. Lincecum's better than Wainwright but they may be back in a Cy Young race again this year. I'd do it.

Help me?

I want Braun and Wainwright. Braun is such a monster and contributes in all 5 categories.

Lincecum is amazing, but Wainwright is not that much of a step down from him. Both have amazing WHIP's and ERA's. Lincecum will get more K's but Wainwright will win more games.

I would definitely give the slight drop from Lincecum to Wainwright, in order to get the nice upgrade of Braun over Howard.
