Help...Trying to make a push for the playoffs!! WHIR!

Postby theilluminati » Wed Aug 11, 2010 11:54 pm

Hey guys, I'm in second place in my Yahoo league (12 team, H2H, R HR RBI AVG SB // W SV K ERA WHIP) and trying to make some moves to make it deep in the playoffs and eventually win this season. I was offered a trade and wanted to get some input. Here is what my team looks like and I will post the trades after that:

C J Mauer
1B M Cuddyer
2B D Uggla
SS J Peralta
3B A Rodriguez
MI H Kendrick
CI A LaRoche
LF A Torres
CF S Podsednik
RF J Upton
OF C Hart
UTL V Wells
DL J Bay


SP J Verlander
SP Y Gallardo
SP R Oswalt
SP D Price
SP J Santana
RP D Bard
RP D Wheeler
RP H Street
RP M Adams
RP M Wuertz
Bench A Sanchez
Bench AJ Burnett
Bench B Norris
Bench CJ Wilson
Bench R Harden
DL C Silva
DL H Bailey

Here is the trade:

I give Peralta, Podsednik, and Harden and my 4th round pick....and i get J Keppinger, H Pence, B Arroyo, and his 9th round pick. Let me know what you guys think!

WHIR as always,

I like getting Pence and Keppinger for Podsednik and Peralta here. I might try to change up the pitchers/pick because I wouldn't really want to give up a 4th rounder here. That's pretty costly. Your pitchers seems solid, so I'd try trading for a slightly worse pitcher than Arroyo in order to eliminate or change the draft pick (maybe 7th rounder for 10th rounder).

Help with mine?

The batters are in your favor, however giving up that 4th round pick is tough. Can you work out a 3 for 2 where you give up Harden, take out Arroyo and the picks?

I agree with everyone else here. I like the trade except for the disparity in picks. See if you can equalize that at all.

help please:

Hey all,

Thanks for your advice - I ended up doing the deal and giving up a lower draft pick.

Now I have one more trade before the deadline:

I give CJ WIlson and get Delmon Young - not sure if this will help me much since I have no room for Young, but I do have pitchers to spare...again this is a keeper league so I'm not sure if Young is worth keeping (I can keep 8...or 9 if i give up my first rounder).

Thanks!

Delmon hasn't been playing quite as well as he had in the previous weeks but given your current depth at SP, I would make that deal.
