Any Brandon Webb News

by Tuncu on Jan 14, 2012 10:08 PM EST

Has anyone heard any news around Brandon Webb. I traded for him a couple of years back in my dynasty league and want to get something out of him, but if he is done I sure would like to dump him and keep someone else. He has been a total dissapointment for me as I traded for him towards the end of his last healthy season. THANKS.

Need to add some filler text to meet the minimum word count.

Webb

I have not heard much but remember reading last year that he had lost velocity. I would not waste a keeper slot on him.

I keep 25 out of 35, other potential keepers instead of Webb would be Zambrano, Harang, Erlin, Betances or a hitter like Giovetalla, Thames, D.Murphy, Gyorko, or Leonys Martin….I am in a win now mode.

I would probably keep all of them ahead of Webb at this point – Webb is basically a lottery ticket that you could get back later on I think.

I would keep Erlin over Webb. Erlin appears to have a much better shot at pitching in the near future than Webb, and he has trade value should you keep him since he pitches in Petco.

Difficult

I agree with you guys, it is just so difficult to cut bait since I let Kemp go as part of the deal 3 years ago….sucks!

trade

everyone makes trades they regret. I would move on as you are only hurting your team by keeping Webb.

I agree with Jason…..all of the other guys have more value than Webb.

I agree. It’s unfortunate you lost Kemp in the deal, but holding onto Webb doesn’t help you win now.

Which D. Murphy? If it’s Daniel Murphy of the Mets, he should have 1B/2B/3B eligibilty in 2012 with a full-time job at 2B likely batting 2nd in the Mets lineup. That kind of multi-position eligibility offers a lot of flexibility to roster more pitchers and he should offer a .300 AVG or close to it with 10/10 potential and a nice source of runs. For your 25th of 35 players you could do worse.
