A guy I know looked at my team and suggested I address power and saves. As to power, is this a trade I should do?
I give: Jesus Montero and Colby Lewis I get: David Ortiz
12 Team H2H Daily with 6 Keepers Season to Season, each for 3 years max. * means a keeper entering this season Stat Categories: R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG -- IP, CG, W, L, ER, ERA, K, SV, WHIP
MY TEAM
C Alex Avila 1B Prince Fielder* 2B Dustin Pedroia* 3B Miguel Cabrera* SS Hanley Ramirez* OF Jacoby Ellsbury* OF B.J. Upton OF Torii Hunter UT Mike Moustakis UT Jesus Montero UT Austin Jackson BN Lorenzo Cain BN Delmon Young
SP Roy Halladay* SP Matt Cain SP Ricky Romero RP Jose Valverde RP Joakim Soria P Anibal Sanchez P Colby Lewis P Matt Harrison BN Vance Worley BN Francisco Liriano BN Mark Buehrle
What are the eligibility rules for your league? If Jesus is going to be a catcher-eligible player for three years, I think he should have some significant value. And after your 3-year run with him, he should have some serious trade potential. And Colby Lewis is a pretty solid arm.
Ortiz is a slugger...no doubt. But, just how much does he have left? Idk...maybe plenty but Jesus is a tough one for me.
Meanwhile...is your power really "that" bad with Fielder, Miggy, Han-Ram, Jacoby...and even a big upside guy like Moustakas? I wish my teams had that kind of "problem".
Bottom line: If you don't buy-in to the Jesus hype, then I think you can "afford" to do this. I just wonder if there isn't someone else in your league that would value Jesus/Colby more...in the form of a younger, bigger upside guy? And can he not at least "throw in" a few saves to help you there too if you do this deal? Soria's season could be in trouble so I tend to agree with him there (though, you'll be able to find a FA keeper at some point).
Extremely helpful analysis, man. Really appreciate it. I think you are right that I can target something better here.
