Andrus for Shields/Desmond

Postby chargerss24 » Wed Jul 14, 2010 1:46 pm

I'm in a 12-team keeper roto (standard stat + Holds/OBP) league. I'm 9th in homers and 10th in RBI and 11th in strikeouts, but pretty solid in all other categories. I was offered Shields and Desmond for Andrus. It gives me a little added pop in my weak MI and another strikeout arm to help me in that area. My team is below. What do you think? WHIR as always! ;-D

I'm not really liking it, by losing Andrus your losing one of your best sources of runs and steals. Desmond will hurt your BA and it isnt like he is a masher himself either. Shields will literally only help you in K's while hurting your ERA. The cons outweigh the pros in my opinion. I would look for a sweeter offer.

I was expecting more from Shields but just not seeing it this year. I'm not trading Andrus for that either
