Rios a Sell High or Is this the real him going forward? WHIR

Postby vykeengfan » Fri Jun 04, 2010 9:50 am

I wanted to target Kemp to put in my CF spot, and was thinking of overpaying a bit by offering Rios and Cain (I have pretty sick sp depth so can afford to overpay to bolster offense), but started wondering if Rios was going to end up outproducing Kemp over the remainder of the year. Would you guys call him a sell high right now, or is this the kind of production we can expect from him going forward? What about Werth.
8 team yahoo points league, redraft.

All input is appreciated and WHIR!!
thanks in advance ;-D

I have no clue to be honest...I like Cain, but Rios, I really do not know. HE was good in TOR, then horrible the past few years...Maybe him and Wells have reemerged together, maybe they hit a wall. Kemp has longer term value though

help?!?

I think Rios is the real deal. He isn't this good, but he was always a highly touted prospect and this change of scenery is doing him well.

Even with pitching depth, you are overpaying. Do NOT overpay, even when dealing from a strength. Somebody else will need pitching in this league, and you can do better.

Please help me out: viewtopic.php?t=413897
Looking forward to back to back championships in 2011!

Who are his closers?

I would deal Rios/Cain/Lindstrom for Kemp/Better closer. That way it eliminates the overpayment as you're also improving at a spot where you need improvement.
