Q&A

[ChWRoCk2]

ive been proposed a trade of jd drew and chone figgins for adrian beltre and livan hernandez.

 

my team is in desperate need of steals because i havent gotten one all year and we seem to hit well even with beltre.

 

Jd drew also brings a nice bat, if you were me what would you do?

 

Questions about my team just ask me, too make it easier.

Allow me to break down each player individually:

 

JD Drew: Solid hitter who is finally heating up (while his team is going south). The big difference you have to remember between his previous years' numbers and this year is that he's now a Dodger so he may not even match his power numbers of previous years. Still, he can drive in runs and steal bases for you, as well as give you a solid BA. Rakings 117/253

 

Chone Figgins: Having a very nice year with a solid BA, runs scored, and steals. with him you get a bonus of 4 positions (plus INF and UTIL) to play him at. Very versatile and will not be a liability. Rankings: 72/64

 

Adrian Beltre: Having a decidedly off-year so far (or, regular year if you take away his contract-year numbers from last season). Nothing special here - low Avg, low walks, decent runs and RBIs, no steals yet, and his OPS, for a slugger, is downright atrocious. Rankings: 15/243

 

Livan Hernandez: In 5 starts has had 2 poor outings mixed in with 3 quality starts (2 of which he won). More hits than IP and almost as many walks as Ks which translates into a high WHIP, and a high ERA. Rankings: 142/132

 

Based on that analysis alone I'd pull the trigger in a heartbeat. The only thing to consider is, do you have another SP to take Hernandez's place in your lineup? Good, consistent SPs are hard to come by.

Good rotation - Moyer, Perez, Garcia, Lee, Ortiz. Wood is probably giving you migraines though. I'd look into finding a FA SP or two to flush out your roto.

 

Also looks like you could use another closer and a setup guy. Looper is gonna drive you batty if he hasn't so far and who knows how long Lyon will be a stud (I've got him too so I'm hoping all season )

 

What I would do is pull the trigger on the trade then SCOUR your FA list and pick up at least one more SP if nothing else. Heck, you might wanna try getting Urbina or trading for him if someone's got him. With the state of closers today he could become veeeery valuable quickly!

who do i drop though, only name i could think of would be preston wilson pat burrell, i guess jorge julio

 

looper seems to be doing fine lately, plus i traded one of my pitchers for wood just this week, and im acquiring danny kolb too

I think you're lucky that he's offering you Drew and Figgins for Beltre and Hernandez, aside from the fact that you'd be giving up an SP. Beltre may break out of the slump he's in, but I think he just did the usual contract-year thing last year and will revert to his usual form. So Drew for Beltre straight up is even IMO. So that leaves Figgins for Hernandez. Fig will give you steals and solid numbers while Hernandez seems to mix bad starts in with good ones.

 

Actually, your roto could do you OK for a while, but I'd always keep my ear to the ground for another. If Wood can come back and be productive soon you'd be all set with SPs.

[ChWRoCk2]

I accepted the trade but it was later vetoed:

Therefore i sent out a proposal of kerry wood for melvin mora, the guy has all cubs players and his pitchers suck, if this goes through im gonna retry that last trade figuring its with the commish

 

Heres my team while I'm at it, im in desperate need of steals and an average hitter suggestions welcome: I could possibly get matos figuring my bro has him.
