deal Utley and co. for Ubaldo and Rollins? WHIR

[moochieh]

This is a H2H 10 team standard 5x5 scoring league, not a keeper league. I've been middle of the road so far, but I just made moves to acquire J. Upton, Carpenter, and Kinsler so I think I'm aggresively moving in the right direction. Since I was able to steal Kinsler for nothing (Kinsler and Nolasco for Gutierrez Furcal and Slowey) I am considering dealing away Utley.

I was offered: Ubaldo, Rollins, Lidge, Wigginton for Utley and Soria
I would drop Francis

I'm thinking I should pull the trigger here because I can use the help from Ubaldo (my era and whip would be last in roto) and even though I like Aviles, Rollins is a big upgrade.

Here is my team once the Kinsler deal goes through:
C- V-Mart
1B- Miggy Cabrera
2B- Utley
3B- Youkilis
SS- Aviles
OF- Upton, Upton, Hamilton
UTIL- Kinsler
Bench- Pierre
1 empty slot

SP- Greinke, Carpenter, Burnett, Nolasco, Peavy, Latos, J. Francis
RP- Soria, Bailey, Aardsma, Corpas
DL- Beckett, Webb

Should I pull the trigger or use Utley for another piece? I would try to trade Wigginton and someone else after I get him, but for who? and will my closers be good enough after Corpas loses his job? Last thing is Brian Roberts is a Free Agent, should I add him and drop Webb from my DL slot? WHIR Thanks

I think this a good deal. I would hang on to aviles until Rollins has proven himself to be healthy. Since it is a H2H league I would probably drop Peavy.

I like that trade for you. Ubaldo is top 5 SP, and you will still have 4 closers after trading soria. Also you have Kinsler to fill in at second. I would probably drop wiggington or aviles, depending on what categories you need. AVG id keep aviles, hrs id keep wiggington.

[moochieh]

ok, so after I do the deal I would drop Jeff Francis and I am thinking I can trade Wigginton and maybe B.J. Upton (or Pierre if I get Bourn) for a stud hitter. Who should I go after?

Also, is Bourn better than Pierre?
Should I hold on to Brian Roberts instead of Brandon Webb?

[RyeWhiskey]

I would take this deal but I would drop Francis, not Aviles. I would then try and move Wigginton and Hamilton for a better OF. Thanks for the help with mine.

u gotta do this.....makes perfect sense for you....doesnt even matter who wins valuewise....im sure its pretty close anyways

bourne and pierre i rate about the same

and i would def prefer to stash roberts over webb


drop francis no loss there....if u can trade peavy for anything decent do it

[moochieh]

ok so let's say I accept. Who should I go after now? my team would be:

C- V-Mart
1B- Miggy Cabrera
2B- Kinsler
3B- Youkilis
SS- Rollins
OF- J. Upton, B.J. Upton, Hamilton
UTIL- Pierre
Bench- Wigginton, Aviles
DL- Roberts

SP- Ubaldo, Greinke, Carpenter, Burnett, Nolasco, Peavy, Latos
RP- Bailey, Aardsma, Lidge, Corpas
DL- Beckett

I would have Wigginton, Aviles, Upton, Hamilton, Pierre, Peavy, Latos available. Who should I get back? I think the addition of Roberts could net me solid trade value eventually too. My team just got a lot faster with Kinsler and Rollins so it seems speed would be expendable.

[Kimbos Beard]

I don't think there is much more to do.....maybe try to move Pierre, as I think you have more than enough speed now, and would be better served with a more all around player.

Your pitching looks fine and your hitting is really solid, especially when Rollins is back.

I honestly think you are done tinkering until maybe Roberts gets back in a few weeks.

I'd say go for it also I think moving Wigginton is a good idea, he can't keep on doing what he's been doing.

[HulkSmash]

I don't like Lidge, until he somehow proves himself otherwise. Rollins needs to prove healthy, but landing Ubaldo would be huge for you either way. You could turn around and throw Wiggington into a trade, sell him high. You can try to package him with Francis or even Peavy, land another closer to replace Corpas.

Thanks for the help on mine.
