I am in an 8 team daily head to head league with 20 starting players (10 hitters, 10 pitchers). My team has been solid so far, but I have struggled to get production out of my thirdbasemen and am wondering whether or not it is worth trading some of my other talent to improve in this area. I understand that my team is really good as is, and I am wondering whether or not it is worth it to make a move for big-name thirdbaseman. I could actually end up weakening my team by doing so. I've considered making a move for David Wright, but given his lack of power over the second half of last season and the beginning of this one, I am wondering whether he will even have better numbers than Zimmerman (who I project as .270 30 2Bs 20 HR 75 RBI 20 SB) by season's end. What do you guys think?
