A guy contained by my made-up basketball league have proposed me an interesting trade? al jefferson for samuel dalambert.
Question:it is a h2h league. THe catagories I have be doing better on are generally percentage which dalambert is slightly better on. jefferson will give me a few more points and boards which sometimes I hold lost. Do you think I should unload dalambert for jefferson. It is an 18 troop league, im currently in 6th so I do inevitability to maybe sort an adjustment, is this a good one?
Answers:
I would cart it.
No do not.
The Celtics are horrible this year and have no opening of making the playoffs. But the one thing you can expect from Boston is for them to play their infantile players a lot of minutes. For the season, Jefferson is averaging 32.2 minutes per spectator sport, but I would expect that number to go up over the remainder of the season, so you can expect his numbers to be in motion up a little bit as in good health.
With the 76ers starting Hunter along with Dalembert, I would expect Dalembert's numbers to any stay the same or probably even decrease.
So, I would expect Jefferson to mark 5-6 more ppg than Dalembert and get roughly speaking 2-3 more rpg as well. Dalembert have slightly better shooting percentages, but it sounds resembling your team could give somebody a lift that slight hit. The real ask is how you are doing in the category of blocks. Dalembert will probably average 1 more block per team game that Jefferson.
One other thing to consider is games remaining. From this upcoming Monday 2/26, the Celtics enjoy 27 games remaining and the 76ers have 26.
Overall, if you can cart the hit to your shooting percentages and your blocks, I recommend making the trade for Jefferson.
Nope, Jefferson is kinda hitting a wall
I would definately do it. Dalambert is far more inconsistant than Jefferson is.
It is sturdy to replace a center. Unless Big Al is listed as a PF/C I would right to be heard don't do it. Al just is not consistent.
Take Jefferson. I own him on my team. He's def. one of the biggest sleepers this year. I enjoy him on my team and he's a BEAST. he's with the sole purpose gonna get better too as the season progresses cos he's youthful and he's the 2nd option trailing pierce.
Man! THat's a whole ton of team! But anyway, I would do it. It would give you one of the best young at heart Centers in the NBA, and he have really done better overall than Dalembert. I would do it.
take jefferson... he have put up big double doubles for the last month
I made it to 2nd round of PO's near no RB's, who should i start - Dayne, Houston, Lundy, Cadillac?
Answers:
Cadillac is the most sure bet here. He is the starter in which none of the others can say-so for sure. Gradkowski has be playing like crap so the pounding of the bubble will continue. Due for at least possible 25+ carries and even at 3 YPC that's 75 yard and a shot at a touchdown or two. All the others are backups or share starting time. Cadillac Williams is the bearing to go. Hope it help and good luck.
Tossup between Dayne and Cadillac, but Cadillac is feasible to get more carry.
I would go next to Ron Dayne. Cadillac has be giving me nothing but trouble contained by my league. I dropped him for Dayne. I have giving up on him, and becides I perfer Toyotas HAHAHA
Dayne, I know it doesn't brand sense. But Samkon Gado has be inactive and Dayne have been getting the carry. He had two TDs against Tennessee final week. Ride him while he's hot!
dayne and cadillac
Looking for counsel on my trade and replacements?
Question:I traded Andruw Jones for Derek Jeter and was wondering what some other thoughts be, my justification is that Jeter hits for a great avg. and ss is a restricted position. Plus i need and OF replacement i be looking at Jaque Jones, Griffey, Juan Rivera, Matt Murton, Kenny Lofton and Garret Anderson. Here's my lineup:
C-Brian McCann
1B-Justin Morneau
2B-Ray Durham
3B-Eric Chavez
SS-Jeter
OF-Soriano
OF-Adam Dunn
OF-?
Util-Thome or Giambi
Answers:
Are you in a guardian league or 1 year only league? That would determine if you want Griffey. Pretty straightforward to see that you may pass on Griffey for a guardian as he's ridiculously injury prone.
I'd definitely trade your UTIL (you can just use one anyway so the other would sit on the bench) for a power OF. I'd even look at trading Morneau if you can get a top tier OF as he's young at heart but the 2nd half of the season is what made him the MVP. Can he repeat that actions? I have small doubts.
A bit of guidance when offering trades. Whoever the player is that you're trying to get, bestow more than 1 trade as it gives the other personage the idea that you're feeling like to negotiate different combinations in your trade. That passageway it doesn't get shot down and you never hear from your enemy ever again.
Very good trade getting Jeter, Jones's average other hurts especially in Roto league. From these guys you mention I would take a fate on Griffey. If healthy he is still a productive player.
Good trade jeter for jones...
Id articulate Griffey (but risky consider health)
Kenny lofton hits for avg not much power but sb is a plus
You could trade Thome or Giambi for a nice outfielder
I like the Jeter for A. Jones trade for you. (Who did Jeter replace at SS, btw?)
I'd move about Jacque Jones. Safest pick of the litter, imo.
Would you choose a pitcher or batter first contained by a Fantasy MLB League? Which specific player would you choose?
Answers:
NFL has the running back, NBA has the overall 5 category stud, and the MLB is also a five category stud, but depending on which type. Personally, I choose a batter over a pitcher and here's why:
Batters plays almost everyday, expect when they obligation the time off. They own a chance to produce nightly, which denote big numbers by the end of the season. Almost any position on offense is close to dilute and after the elite, the second-tier is a toss up. A pitcher pitches every 5 days, next to closers pitching every other day if they get hold of an Save opportunity (sometime giving the duties to other bullpen), unless they get a minimum 3 afternoon rest for certain situation. Pitching is vast so even if you can't get a Johan Santna or a Chris Carpenter, in that are still younger players that poses potential in the stop.
If I had to pick a specific player to choose (let's consider the 1st pick), it would be Albert Pujols. His three year average consist of .331, 45 HR and 126 RBI, although his run total have drop the past three season. His injury force him to lose some speed (from 16 SB in 2005 to 7 SB contained by 2006) but his power is more than enough to construct that up, which makes him the #1 choice among Fantasy drafts (add to the reality that he's reaching the breakout age of 27, but that doesn't matter anyway).
Batter David Wright.
Go for hitters first. With the exception of possibly the top 5 pitchers, the worth you are going to get out of an hasty round pitcher and a late round pitcher isn't going to drop that much. The top 20 or 30 hitters are significantly better production erudite from the rest.
I would take a pitcher first because there's so various more good batter available then well brought-up pitchers.
I would probably take J. Santana.
If you purloin a batter first, go for Pujols...he's money within the bank.
It depends how your league is score...but in nonspecific...position players before pitchers, starting pictchers beforehand closers...i wouldn;t concider a pitcher till the top 10 position players are off the board...after only Santana...pitching is a crap shoot.
Pitcher.
I will other choose David Ortiz or Manny Ramirez first because batters enjoy a higher amount of starts than pitchers due to pitchers rotation stratigies.
I'd choose a hitter - pitching is such a low position, unless you have the opportunity to catch Johan Santana.
For hitters, I'd go near Pujols or Soriano. Soriano delivers surrounded by all 5 intolerable categories surrounded by a 5x5 roto league.
Take a hitter. You play 162 games at each postion. Even Johan will individual contribute in, at most, 20 games out of 34 starts. And once you start down that draft pathway you will lose out on top hitters. Then you will be trying to scramble to fill needed distasteful positions, in your desparation the other team will be taking off pitchers rate 6 through 25 while you are scrambling to obtain Adam LaRoche as a starting 1B. You will end up next to team that can't produce consistently on offense and a pitching staff specifically still maybe single slightly better than the guy who took Pujols first.
Do the hitter first then plan your second pick from that pick. Pujols will contribute to the most rude stats and will contribute almost daily. Johan will contribute to the most pitching stat category but only 20 times will it be really flawless. In a roto league with max innings pitched. That's give or take a few 230 innings contributed or 12.5% or your total pitching stats. Now you have to verbs about 85% of your pitching and still own no hitting.
First pick in the draft, I would move about for a hitter A.Pujols. Santana is the only pitcher I would pick surrounded by the first round around forth or fifth pick, otherwise a hitter all the opening.
batter. Albert Pujols.
If you have the immensely first pick, and want a pitcher, take Albert Pujols first and after trade him to the person for J. Santana and someone else. This approach you get maximum significance for the first pick. The first pick in EVERY LEAGUE should be albert pujols. If someone tell you something else, they are wrong.
I would select Johan Santana number 1. After that, I'd select the best remaining offensive players.
2.Ryan Howard
3.Albert Pujols
4.Alex Rodriguez
5.Chase Utley
6.David Wright
7.Miguel Cabrera
8.Vladimir Guerrero
9.David Ortiz
10.Jose Reyes
That's my top 10. Utley and Santana are far above adjectives others at their positions. Howard, Pujols, and A-Rod are dominant players. After those 5, the next 10-15 are pretty much even.
I would lift Howard above Pujols because Howard's a better hitter (even if you make up for Pujol's DL stay, there's no passageway he rates as equal to Howard last year and Pujols is very soon 29, meaning he's exiting his prime, while Howard is 27, so he's entering his prime) at the moment and Pujols doesn't hold much need to steal basis. Long-term, I think Pujols will be around until he's 40 and Howard until he's 35, so Pujols is a better pick within a keeper league that will run that long. Pujols may think he deserves the NL MVP more than Howard, but his squad only get in the playoffs because of playing surrounded by a soft division. They're an 83 win team and the Phils are an 85 win squad. Howard's better than Pujols by about that get thinner a margin.
