Targeting a top SS... thoughts on these? (WHIR)

[GiantFanatic]

Okay, so I posted a little earlier about some pick-up ideas. Someone mentioned the idea of moving Utley to try and upgrade to a top SS. Hadn't really considered going that direction with it, but it's interesting (if not extreme).

Standard H2H Yahoo league, 10 teams, my roster is as follows:

C - McCann
1B - Loney
2B - Utley
3B - Sandoval
SS - Alexei Ramirez
OF - M. Byrd
OF - C. Young
OF - J. Bruce
OF - J. Bay
Util - Ian Stewart
BN - C. Headley
BN - Aramis Ramirez

SP - Lincecum
SP - Romero
SP - J. Garcia
RP - Rivera
RP - Valverde
P - Bailey
P - Contreras
BN - Leake
BN - Liriano
BN - Vazquez
BN - Correia

I'd like to avoid losing Utley, even for HanRam, since this is a H2H league (the weekly production hit would be hard). The following are some of the opportunities out there:

Team 1:
- Has Alex Gonzalez and Stephen Drew
- Needs SP or OF

Team 2:
- Has Tulowitzki and Zobrist
- Needs SP or OF

Team 3 (Big Phillies fan)
- Has HanRam (no other SS)
- Needs 3B, SP, OF

If there's someone else you'd target let me know (based on value alone).

Thanks,
GF

If you don't want to lose Utley, I'd say Tulo and Hanley are out of the picture. I'd try going after either Drew or Zobrist.

I don't think you are getting HanRam, but you have some extensive depth at 3b. Ian Stewart and your 2 bench spots all qualify.

If the guy who has HanRam really likes any of those 3b, package them with Lincecum and Alexei to get HanRam and a good UT player (who is his 1b)?

Start with a lesser pitcher than Lincecum, but I think that is your best shot.
