Beachy bites the dust, 10-team help, Wire add, who to drop?

Postby JoshuaHavok » Thu Jun 21, 2012 11:26 am

Hey everyone,

I'm in a 10 team Head-to-head KEEPER (keep 12 of 24) league with 9 hit stats(R, H,HR, RBI,SB,BB, AVG,OPS, XBH) & 8 pitch stats (W, CG, SV, K, GIDP, ERA, WHIP, QS). We are allowed 30 moves and 2 DL spots

Another one Bites the dust, Beachy getting Tommy John, but as I only keep 12, is he worth keeping in a 10-team mixer? I'm looking to drop Brian Matusz and possibly another pitcher (was going to be floyd, but had a good outing last night) for someone on the wire. Any Ideas? I was looking at either Liriano, Gee, Cobb, or stashing Carpenter. I'm punting saves so might try and shop around kimbrel

This is my team:
C - Joe Mauer
1B - Joey Votto
2B - Jason Kipnis
3B - David Wright
SS - Jimmy Rollins
CI - Pablo Sandoval
MI - Ian Desmond
LF - Ryan Braun
CF - Andrew McCutchen
RF - Jay Bruce
Util- Micheal Bourn
BN - Paul Goldschmidt
BN - Anthony Rizzo (NA)
BN - Chase Utley (DL)

SP - Dan Haren
SP - Max Scherzer
SP - Vance Worley
RP - Craig Kimbrel
RP -
RP -
P - Anibal Sanchez
BN - Hiroki Kuroda
BN - Wandy Rodriguez
BN - Brian Matusz
BN - Gavin Floyd
BN - Jonathon Niese
DL - Ted Lilly
DL - Brandon Beachy

Wire:
Pitchers - Joe BLanton, Alex Cobb, Dillon Gee, Homer Bailey, Ross Detwiler, Fransisco Liriano, Mike Minor
Chris Carpenter (DL)

If you're going to pick up a pitcher get homer bailey or mike minor. But otherwise i think you should trade kimbrel for a lot if your going to give up on saves. of invest some of that outfield into a better pitcher(Jay Bruce).

I dump Beachy & pick up Carpenter. DL him and scoop up Liriano. He's been pretty good since going back to the rotation. Hopefully you have a high IP limit if you're going with all of these starters. Maybe you could move Kimbrel to another guy that has hoarded closes and pick up 2 guys? Then drop Lilly for another low ranking closer? Just some ideas. We're not even half way through the season. So to give up now is a little early. Even if you could get back to the middle of the pack it could be worth it.

sorry should have clarified. I've been punting saves since the start of the season & I'm currently in 1st place. Utley and lilly are on my DL so to pick anybody up, I would have to drop someone, so if I drop Matusz should I grab bailey, Liriano, or Carpenter? Do you think Beachy is worth holding onto in this keeper league?

Id keep the arms on the DL for usre DO NOT DROP BEACHY.
Matusz for Minor on upside.

Don't trade Kimbrel. Is there a decent RP in FA?

there are some options,but i'd have to drop somebody to pick up additional RP, who else would you drop other than matusz. I ended up picking liriano for Matusz, I'm still a little hesitant on Minor cause he burned me earlier in the year.
