So, standard 6x6 h2h league with OPS and holds as extra cats. This is a Dynasty league.
I will list my team. Note: No current catcher.
C
1B Prince Fielder
2B Brandon Phillips
3B Pablo Sandoval
SS Alexei Ramirez
IF Starlin Castro
LF Brett Gardner
CF Matt Kemp
RF Andre Ethier
OF Carlos Lee
U David Ortiz
U BJ Upton
DL David Wright
SP: Jair Jurrjens, Clayton Kershaw, Madison Bumgarner, Vance Worley, Carl Pavano, Andrew Miller, Carlos Carrasco.
Mid RP: Jose Veras, Vinnie Pestano (will get some saves), Eric O'Flaherty, Joaquin Benoit, Randy Choate, Kameron Loe.
Closers: Drew Storen, Joe Nathan, Joel Hanrahan, David Hernandez, Javy Guerra.
DL: Roy Oswalt, Jose Contreras.
My predicament:
David Wright looks like he is very close to coming off the DL. Who do I drop to make room for him? Carlos Lee? Seems like I could get decent value for him in a trade, no?
Should I attempt a trade? One team has been continuously trying to get Alexei from me. I refused, but recently traded for Castro. If I traded Alexei, I could move Castro to the SS slot and Wright into the IF slot. I would want to get good value for Ramirez, of course. My biggest needs (looking at my stats) are HR and RBI. I just traded for Prince and have had him less then a week, so I am hoping he picks up some of that slack.
The team that has enquired about Alexei has Adam Dunn. I assume Dunn will bounce back some and I am in the top three in BA/OPS so if I take a hit there it wouldn't be so terrible, although I would need Dunn to bounce back some. He also has Hafner, Cano, Freeman, Heyward. However, he is in a rebuilding mode and may not wanna trade youth. Any suggestions?
