Keeper trade help needed, please...

by Ryanj800 on Jul 7, 2011 2:00 PM EDT

Hey guys, could really use some advice for my 10 team yahoo h2h 8x8 keeper league... Currently sitting in first, thanks largely to my threesome of Joey bats, kemp, and Braun. Pitching is an area that concerns me, though. Ive been solid, but some of that was early season success of Beckett, lohse and pineda. Lohse has already been dropped, and I'm nervous aout entering playoffs with Pineda getting skipped and Beckett faltering down the stretch. That leaves me basically with kershaw and hamels, which is great but I need more than 2 guys. Was just offered cliff lee, arod, and liriano for Bautista and bud Norris (some picks involved also, but not concerned with those). Do you think the hit in hr and ops is worth the security in pitching??? Thanks for your advice!!!

lee arod and liriano for Jose batista?

i think you need to seriously concider taking that trade.
see if you can maybe swap out Joey B for Braun. and throw in a few picks. if you can do that your good.
if not, i’d still accept that offer.
seeing as how Arod is about to turn it in. and will have many more RBI opurtunities thatn Bautista the rest of the season.
the only reason arod hasnt been up their in points recentley is because he’son the longest HR drought of his carear. and when that drought finally ends. e will do something like hitting 5 in 3 days.
as for liriano, he’s been up and down all season. but latley has been pretty solid despite a bad start here and their.
and when you get cliff lee. i advise you to trade him and someone else to attempt to upgrade the pitching even more. something like him and a few picks or him and beckett for a verlander type pitcher. maybe you get CC or Verlander for lee and beckett. you’d ofcourse need to get a B level pitcher in that trade. but i do not think that lee and beckett will be this solid for teh remainder of the season. i do have a feeling that verlander and CC and felix will turn it on down the stretch

ARod is injured

I wouldn’t expect a whole lot from him, especially when compared to Joey Bats. I’d keep Bautista and Norris, who is a strikeout machine and on his way to becoming a true ace. If only he had some run support, he’d have 2-3 more wins. Of course, Lee is already a true ace, so it’s not an awful deal. If ARod was healthy, I’d say go for it. Can you replace Norris with a different SP in the deal since ARod is injured?
