I'm in a very shallow (9-team) 5x5 Roto league with OBP instead of AVG.
I'm getting Zimmerman off the DL next week, and I just got the trade offer of my Mark Reynolds and John Axford for his Votto. I would slot in Votto instead of Carlos Pena in the 1b/3b slot.
I'm currently in first place, but likely 2nd or 3rd once the relatively low innings cap kicks in. I'm currently in the top 3 in R, HR, RBI, 4th in OBP, and in the upper middle of the pack in the pitching stats. I'm #1 in saves - 10 more than #2- because i currently have 5 closers.
My Team:
C Arencibia (was Posey)
1B Miguel Cabrera
2B Rickie Weeks
SS Jimmy Rollins
3B Mark Reynolds
1B/3B Carlos Pena
OF Matt Kemp
OF Carlos Gonzalez
OF Colby Rasmus
OF Mike Stanton
UTIL Corey Hart (OF)
BN Kelly Johnson (2B)
DL Ryan Zimmerman (3B)
DL Ike Davis (1B)
P Justin Verlander
P Mat Latos
P Chad Billingsley
P Jeremy Hellickson
P Erik Bedard
P Chris Perez
P John Axford
P Jose Valverde
P Jordan Walden
P Kevin Gregg
This seems like a very good deal for me, even losing Axford's saves and Ks (he was hurting me in WHIP.) What do you think? Post a link and I'll try to return the favor. Thx.
