Should I deal Strasburg for offense in 12team keeper? WHIR!

Postby onitapgr » Thu Jun 10, 2010 11:18 am

12 Team keep 10 players standard 5x5 cats
I just got Teixiera, so he hasn't contributed yet...
I am in 4th place overall right now, but am in the bottom in R, HR, and SB, so I am thinking of dealing a pitcher for some help in those 3 offensive cats...My pitching is pretty solid, but I am in the bottom 4th in saves

I am thinking offering Strasburg and targeting Youkilis, Crawford, or Dunn + ?

I think if I lose one SP, I will come in right at the 1500 innings cap...

your team looks fine offensively. I wouldn't trade Strasburg unless it's great value. Your pitching is pretty solid and young... I'd stay as is.

Consider trading a two for one with your bench to improve at OF/CI/or MI

I agree with the other guy. Your offense is solid.
I'd look into trading for some relief help and a top of a rotation starter.

One more vote for standing pat. Tex will help in two of those low cats as soon as he turns it on.

Please give me your thoughts on this ARod for Wright deal:

I would make the move, sell him now or after the start against the Indians. I think he could destroy them but then regress a little bit. He will be amazing in the long term but this season won't be amazing. Try and see what you can get for him everyone has different opinions on the guy so it is tough to gage, but shoot high.
