Meh. I;d pass. don't much care for Wandy as a 'hold all season guy'. I think you could do better streaming. I'd keep the speculative saves for now.

[BiGAnT]

I'd take it...I've always valued starters more than RPs, and he can potentially boost more of your categories, plus Rodriguez could lose the job if he's on a short leash and doesn't pitch well (Brad Lidge/Tyler Clippard are both solid options that they could use if things don't go well).

Thanks for the help with mine!!

[Fenris-77]

Sure, but if Wandy is below replacement level then it doesn't make sense at all though. And he is below replacement level, so...

[ATLbraves]

Who are some FA options in your league? If Wandy isn't better then anyone the FA then why even consider this trade?

[Fenris-77]

It's a 12 man league. There's should be no question that streamers can beat his season production.

I was thinking that Wandy was a decent return for Henry, but in your opinion, what type of pitcher would you target for him?

Some FA's available are:

Dirty Sanchez
Capuano
Niemann
Nicasio
Matusz

...not a whole lot actually

I'd take Wandy, he's underrated imo and Henry probably won't have the job for long if he has it at all.

[jackie hayes]

I'd lean towards taking it. Adding qs makes this a starter-friendly league. Wandy isn't anything tremendous, but he's not bad. The BBM rankings for last year put him as the 54th-best pitcher. He hurts you in whip, but otherwise he's solid.

It is a risk, though -- if Storen has a setback, which is always possible w/ pitcher injuries.

Btw, are there any weekly limits in your league? Transaction limits, # of starts limits? Just worth considering in terms of streaming.

[Fenris-77]

No, Henry won't have the job for long. Dude is strictly a vulture saves guy. I'd keep him for those saves and then start streaming favorable SPs off the wire. I want those saves plus streaming SPs way more than Wandy's mediocre season stats.

Weekly limits might change my mind here too.
