Fantasy baseball trade.

I have been offered Soriano and Hermanson for David Ortiz. I think I am going to take the trade, thoughts on this.

I have Delgado on my team as well. Also, currently I have Felix Lopez playing 2nd Base for me, and have Mark Loretta on the DL. My two closers are Looper and Hoffman.

Here are the stats we use:

R H HR RBI SB K E AVG W L CG SV K ERA WHIP

Good trade for you I'd say.

who do you have at SS? Lopez has been a beast and all... you need a closer I presume? Full team would be nice.

Why are you starting Perez?

Weatherhead03 · #6 07-09-2005, 07:56 PM

My guess would be that he starts tomorrow.

Vince Young · #7 07-09-2005, 08:27 PM

Webb starts tonight.

i'd hesitate to trade hitting for pitching in a league that favors hitting so much, especially since the lower value of relievers than in a normal league. see if you can't get a SP instead.

would getting Soriano be that much of an upgrade, especially since I am losing Ortiz

it depends on how quickly loretta comes back and what you expect from him when he does. he also doesn't strike out as much as soriano, since it looks like that's -EV for your league (so don't go get bellhorn [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

what you're really doing is replacing ortiz w/ jason bay or whoever you get in that util spot and upgrading from lopez/loretta to soriano...my guess is you come out slightly behind there.

hermanson i don't trust at all. he's got a K/BB of 18/11, which isn't all that reliable for a closer. then again, Looper's no great catch either.

in the end, it's probably a coinflip.

how deep is this league that you have those starters?
