In a continued effort to fortify my rotation, would you let me know your thoughts on this one? The owner appears very likely to accept but I wanted to run it by you guys to see if it made sense for me. Thanks as always, and leave a link!
I give: Ricky Romero and Torii Hunter I get: Ian Kennedy
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 (pending a recent deal)
C Alex Avila 1B Prince Fielder* 2B Dustin Pedroia* 3B Miguel Cabrera* SS Hanley Ramirez* OF Jacoby Ellsbury* OF B.J. Upton OF Austin Jackson UT David Ortiz UT Torii Hunter UT Mike Moustakas BN Lorenzo Cain BN Colby Rasmus
SP Roy Halladay* SP Cole Hamels SP Ricky Romero RP Jose Valverde RP Grant Balfour P Jordan Zimmermann P Anibal Sanchez P Brandon Beachy BN Aroldis Chapman BN Colby Lewis BN Mark Buehrle
Eh...I'm not so sure. I might not be as high on Kennedy as some. He's certainly a great talent, but I think it's a lateral move. Romero and Kennedy are kind of on the same tier in my mind.

These are the top available FA outfielders. Thoughts? Should I offer him Austin Jackson instead of Hunter?

I would say Martinez or Raburn specifically...I like Rasmus more than Carp for sure. Bay...I'm not so sure he's ever going to make it in NY. I'm worried.

I'd do that deal. There's lots of potential breakouts in the OF on the wire there, so you're probably not going to have too much trouble replacing Hunter. Even just a platoon of Cain and Rasmus may do the trick if one or both break out a little (Cain's had the better spring, but Rasmus could still surprise). Anyway, Hunter isn't a big enough deal that I don't want the Kennedy upgrade there. Your pitching is already pretty sick for a 12-teamer though, so in general you may want to look at trading an arm for a bat somewhere when you find a good deal.
