Dynasty Advice - Pujols?
Here are a two questions in one post. I'm part of a Dynasty League, and I've listed my team below. The league is hosted by Yahoo and there are no contracts or anything on the players (i.e. no dollars involved). Most offensive and pitching stats matter, so this isn't your standard 5x5 league. Anyway, here are my questions:
- I was offered Albert Pujols for Hanley Ramirez, Chris Carpenter and Matt Wieters, which I declined. I countered replacing Wieters with Posey, and he declined. He then emailed me saying that he would do Pujols for HanRam, Carpenter and Pena. I don't want to do that, but am considering making a counter-offer of Pujols for just HanRam and Pena, which I doubt he'd accept. Thoughts? Even if I was to do this trade, I'd have to shift Stewart to MI and put Gordon or Alvarez at 3B, and then next year I'd be screwed at MI (once Stewart loses 2B eligibility). I'm not too concerned about this right now, but it's a thought.
- Aaron Harang, Erik Bedard and Ervin Santana are all available right now on the FA market. I wouldn't mind having one of these guys on my team, but I have no idea who I would drop to make room. Thoughts?
Here is my team:
C Matt Wieters (Bal - C)
1B Lance Berkman (Hou - 1B)
2B Dan Uggla (Fla - 2B)
3B Ian Stewart (Col - 2B,3B)
SS Hanley Ramirez (Fla - SS)
CI Carlos Pena (TB - 1B)
MI Jose Reyes (NYM - SS)

CF Cameron Maybin (Fla - CF)
RF Justin Upton (Ari - RF)

UTIL Bobby Abreu (LAA - LF,RF)
UTIL Nelson Cruz (Tex - RF)

SP Chris Carpenter (StL - SP)
SP Matt Garza (TB - SP)
SP Jake Peavy (CWS - SP)
SP Rick Porcello (Det - SP)
SP Rich Harden (ChC - SP)

Stand Pat
I agree that all 3 of those pitchers would be interesting to own, but the only player I see that I might drop to get them is Chris Perez, which would leave you with only 1 RP and 2 open spots you cannot use.
As for Pujols, I can’t see giving up HanRam and Pena. The dropoff to your next player just seems like it would be too much.
Exactly my thoughts
About Chris Perez also. I do know of one person in my league who’s interested in Perez, but if I wait until he’s a CL (probably later this year), I think he’ll be worth more in my league.
yes, stand pat
that is too much to give up for Pujols. I am surprised the other owner did not accept the your counter with Posey involved. Pujols is tough to pass up, but for me, I keep HanRam, Carp and Pena.
I am not sure Bedard or Harang are any better than any of your starting pitchers right now.
