How's this team doing?
Should I drop A. Kearns for D. Roberts? A. Sanchez for T. Lilly or A. Reyes?
I'm currently proposing a trade of D. Willis and A. Kearns for C. Crawford.

Answer 1

Good team ..
I think you should drop sanchez for Lilly ... Sanchez just got lucky .. he will not hold up those numbers .. he has two good starts but the two before were horrible.. you have to drop him..., right now he's unpredictable .. you have to get Lilly .. i think the Jays will make a huge end of the season run ..
and about that trade you proposed ... the other person is getting ripped off totally .. crawford is probably the forth best fantasy outfielder .. It will not be accepted you gotta offer more than that for him ..
but you should be making offers for outfielders.. maybe Iguchi or Sanchez and one of your above average pitchers for a good outfielder .. but look for a team in need of a shortstop.. Iguchi and sanchez's trade value will go up.

Answer 2

Your team is so-so. Your OF and SP are weak. I don't like Francouer one bit, and I don't like Holliday away from Coors. Meche, Wang, Sele, Johnson, and Lester are adequate to round out a staff, but shouldn't comprise the majority of one.

You need speed, so yes on Kearns for Roberts.

I don't trust Lilly, and Sanchez and Reyes are about even right now.

On paper, the Crawford trade looks great...unfortunately, you really can't afford to trade Willis. He's the only proven commodity you have at SP, with the possible exception of Capuano.

However, I don't think it will matter...I wouldn't do that trade if I had Crawford. Trade from strength and sell high (Thome, F. Sanchez). There are servicable 1Bs and SSs around to help backfill those holes...you need a true ACE SP (like a Santana, Oswalt, etc) or a true stud OF.

Before you do that, though: 1) is this a keeper league? 2) Regardless, post the top available 10 pitchers (sort by rank, not O-Rank) for the last month in your league and let's see who's sleeping out there in the free agent pool.

Answer 3

Drop Sanchez for Lilly, keep Kearns for the trade, and hopefully you'll get the trade for Carl Crawford. Looks like you have a pretty good team. Good Luck.

Answer 4

It depends on if you are in a keeper league or just a one season league. If a keeper league, keep Kearns. Either way, get Anthony Reyes - he is ready to breakout and he will be the ace of the Cards' staff in the coming years. Crawford is good but not that much better than Kearns to give up Willis to get him. Hold on to Dontrelle. Drop Sele if you need to drop someone.

Answer 5

How big of a league is this? I know mccann is available in a lot of leagues, add him if you can. The trade for crawford might not be a good idea. Your pitching is a little weak and your hitting is pretty good. I'd keep willis. Lilly has been pretty good and plays on a great hitting team. Picking him up might be a good idea. Good luck!

Answer 6

I would drop kerns for robert stolen bases..

I would get rid of sele for an established set up man or closer...perhaps packaging up kerns/sele for a set up guy and picking up roberts off the waiver wire...

Answer 7

I think you should drop the lot. Baseball is a girls game.

Answer 8

The guy you need to dump is Francouer....drop him for KC's DeJesus, you won't regret it

Answer 9

GET RID OF WILLIS HE'S HAD A HORRIBLE YEAR
HE'LL GET STRIKOUTS BUT HIS WINS AND ERA SUCK
ALSO TRADE YOUR CATCHER

Answer 10

YES!
