Greinke for Teixeira

by Dionysus0 on Jul 7, 2009 12:33 AM EDT

I am in desperate need for home runs. I have a few under performing/injured guys on my team in this category: David Wright, Matt Holiday and Carlos Quentin. Should I wait for these players to turn it around or should I make the offer of Greinke for Teixeira? Your advice just as in my previous posts is appreciated.

I need to type sixteen more words so my fanpost can be published; I hope there is enough words in this sentence.

depends

who are you currently starting at first? i wouldnt trade a top pitcher for a bat if it means you will have a solid player wasting away on your bench.

other than that, absolutely.

do you have any pitchers on your bench or someone you can pick up to replace Zach?

I have have Howard, Zimmerman, and Wright at corner infield

I would probably put Teixeira at utility position. However, I do not have an extra starting pitcher in waiting on the bench. I am in first or near first in all my pitching categories. I could pick up Gavin Floyd off of the waiver wire.

I decided against it,

I play in 10 team mixed and I picked up Ortiz off the wire. I hope he will help solve my power issues. This also creates a blockage, only one spot to play a DH, of where I could play Teixeira without wasting any of my talent at the corner. My pitchers are Greinke, Harang, Gallardo, Wainwright, Contreras, Baker and Scherzer. I like to keep one back up starting pitcher to play match-ups or if one of main guys goes down.
