keeper or redraft?

i assume redraft. I'd make the move you can't find the SB on the WW. I don't see Heyward returning to April form this year. chipper has been hitting better of late, but for how long. Figgins hasn't been hitting for AVG, but steal, pun intended, running.


if keeper, stay put

please help

Hmmm. Keeper or not, that seems like a lot to give up. Obviously, if it's a keeper, there's no way that you can make this deal. However, if you're that starved for speed... maybe. Let's see.

Firstly, what speed options are available on the WW? Rajai Davis might have been dropped after losing playing time for a bit there... but he's back for as long as Conor Jackson is on the shelf... and Coco is not the most reliable injury-wise. He could give you the same sort of speed boost for the price of a drop. What about lesser speed options like Roger Bernadina, Coco Crisp, Jose Tabata, and Fred Lewis?

Anyway, on to Chone. He's batting .235/.332/.276. He's striking out more than he ever has in his career before. To boot, he's been just as bad recently as he has the rest of the year and for a speed guy he only has 38 runs. His babip is lower than it has been for his career, but at .291 it's not like it's abysmally low to match that abysmally low batting average. Still, he does have 24 steals, which is pretty nice.

In short, while the stats don't offer much hope, he is a proven veteran and it's never smart to count them out. I think he'll rebound, but to expect a .300 BA from here on out would be irresponsible. I'm thinking somewhere more in the .275 range, unless he's able to cut down the Ks. The thing is, Heyward, once he comes back, has the talent to be a top 10 OF from here on out... and should at least be top 25. Find the guy in your league that's obsessed with youth/ prospects and see if you can't get something better there.

there just has to be a better return for Heyward than this, maybe even with this same owner. Figgy would fit your needs just fine, but you are selling Heyward at half his worth, even in a single season which this must be

I agree with this guy. Thanks for your help with mine btw. Heyward is nasty, even though he is on the DL, he is worth a little bit more than Figgins, if you don't have any options I would do it, but if you are last, Figgins isn't getting enough steals to bump you up from worst to first. Maybe if you got a Carl Crawford or something but you won't get him for just Heyward.

No deal if its a keeper league

I don't like that deal. Figgins has a poor batting average and only really helps out in SB. You create a large void by trading Heyward, so it's almost like you are turning one weakness into two. If you really want Figgins you should be able to get him for less, or you should be able to get a guy like Angel Pagan for Heyward in the OF.

I don't care for the deal.... Has to be other speed on waiver... Pagan, Pierre, Fowler, Tabata....

Thanks for your post. Good luck.
