Keeper/Trade Help

by RickyV82 on Nov 2, 2011 2:12 PM EDT

My dynasty keeper league keeps 6 players, our stats include, OBP, SLG, Shut Outs and K/BB on top of the normal catagories. I just won 2011 now I'm looking to set up the best possible keepers for 2012. Currently I'd be keeping Braun, Kemp, Longo, Tulo, Felix and either Wainwright or Pineda. I'd like to have 4 bats and 2 arms going into our draft. So I was thinking of trying to trade for Cliff Lee, who because of our shutouts and k/bb catagories was #1 on our league fantasy player rater this year. The team with Lee would only move him for one of my big 3, Kemp, Braun or Longo, but I'm hesitant to trade any of them for him, is this crazy? after everything I just told you? There's also antoher way of getting Lee, I could trade Braun to a different team for Upton and Carlos Santana and then move Upton for Lee, which would give me Kemp, Longo, Tulo, Santana, Felix and Lee. I’m having a hard time deciding if I’d be better off with Kemp/Braun/Longo/Tulo/Felix and Wainwright (probably)…or Kemp, Tulo, Longo, Santana, Felix, Lee. Kemp/Tulo/Longo/Santana/Felix/Lee Vs Kemp/Braun/Tulo/Longo/Felix/Wainwright Or I could bypass all this and just trade Longo or Kemp for Lee. What do you think is my best move? If any...

Personally, I’d just move Longo straight up for Lee.

+1

although I like Longo to hit for a better BA in 2012, you have the two best OFers and the best SS.

Then again, do you really need Lee with Felix and Wainwright? You cannot predict shutouts.

If I were you, I'd stay put.

As Ray said, you can’t predict shutouts. Outfield and third base are two of the weakest positions, so you’d be giving up an advantage there. For me, the dropoff from Lee to Wainwright is less than a dropoff from Longo to Santana or Braun to Santana, simply because of positional scarcity. Really, what TC suggested isn’t a bad idea either. Looks like you’re in a good position. Do they all cost the same?

Longoria for Lee

Could go either way. More importantly, isn’t Wainright extremely risky coming off a major surgery and whole season missed? Also doubtful Pineda in his Sophomore Slump year is a good keep. I’m keeping him, but that’s in AL-Only.
