Worth the trade...?

Here's My team:
Wieters (C), M Cab (1B), Pedroia (2B), Beltre (3B), Rollins (SS), Crawford (OF), Francouer (OF), Victorino (OF), Konerko (Util), Choo (OF, BN), Miguel Montero (C, BN), Zimmerman (DL)
SP: Masterson, Chachin, Weaver, Ubaldo, CJ Wilson, Janathan Sanchez, Jaime Garcia
RP: Marmol, Feliz, Madson, Street

Standard points league, rewards multiple base hits, HR's and Stolen bases more than others...

Weakest link is in SS and OF at the moment... and I have 7 SP. Most players in the league have 6 SP. Is Bautista worth Choo + 2011 Ubaldo?

WHIR.

If you could pull off Ubaldo+Francouer for Bautista, I think I'd pull the trigger on that.

Help on mine?

Choo's very slow to start the season and Francouer's hitting HR for fun... you don't think Francouer may be having a great year?

I'd like to hear more opinions on this...

Thanks! I have replied to yours.

I would think Choo will pick up. As for Frenchy, here are his numbers for the last three years by month.

Cats are - AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB HBP SO SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS

April - 265 40 74 18 4 8 44 17 2 24 1 0 .279 .322 .468 .790
May - 314 38 71 10 1 5 38 14 8 71 6 2 .226 .271 .312 .583
June - 273 23 69 13 0 7 32 17 4 47 5 2 .253 .305 .377 .682
July - 241 17 52 10 0 5 29 11 5 45 0 1 .216 .261 .320 .581

He tends to trend downward after April, historically. I am riding his homer happiness myself, but I don't think he'll keep it up all year. If I needed an add-on for a trade, I would add him over a Choo.

in the last 3 years, Choo's pre-ASB avg. has been .282 compared to .322 after the all star break. He'll give you a good season, and the tribe is possibly making something of the season as a whole, so his peripherals should benefit from that too.

Just my two cents. Thanks for posting on mine. I was curious who you think I *could* get if I'm underoffering Nolasco?

Thanks again for the detailed input. I'm a rookie at fantasy baseball so when I'm seeing a good thing I'm probably not seeing the downside. Baseball is a long season indeed...

Im thinking that if I go for Francouer, I may not need to offer up Ubaldo. Francouer's price is high right now compared to Choo and he may take bait with a smaller name pitcher.

Can you look at my list and tell me which pitcher I should throw in to go with Francouer?

I'm probably goIng to try to bait him with Chachin or Jonathan Sanchez. Sounds good to you?

Both of them are about the same. Sanchez is this year's popular sleeper for some and Chacin has been great. You *may* be able to pull it off with one of those two. When you make the trade, just tell the other owner their pick of the two.

I think they would want Francoeur + Ubaldo, but if not you will make out great.
