I'm in a pretty desperate situation right very soon. I'm in sixth place out of ten team, and the four teams below me don't even check their team. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Answers:
It adjectives depends on who's left available. In a ten squad league, that probably isn't very copious..If it is on yahoo, I would check and see who is available, and then instead of going by their antiquated rank, click on the exotic rank, and see if within are any players that you can swap out for ones that aren't doing so well. Don't drop any really pious players that are just within a slump, they will eventually hit or pitch out of it.
Your pitching looks extremely strong but your infield batters are horrid. You involve to either fashion some trades, pitching for hitting or work the free agency market. Youkilis might be gone by immediately, but he could be helpful at 3rd remnant or OF. Maybe try to move Victorino and another guy for a Matsui type of player (30 hr, 100 rbi). Check to see if Hunter Pence is available out there, he could provide your troop with power and speed.
You don't want to carry 3 second basemen as powerfully, look to see if any of the teams contained by the league are weak nearby as you have 3 solid 2nd basemen. All surrounded by all, you have need of to make moves.
trade clemens to a noob for a 2b bat. capture reggie willts right now, he is boiling hot,
I don't want to articulate this but trade pappelbon.. you have cordero reyes sunbeam and accardo, all standard relief pitchers. Paps is the one and only guy that has trade efficacy. Throw in some1 approaching hill or matthews jr. (some1 who is doing angelic now but will not continue) You can pack a lot of holes within your offense. It wont hurt you that much because you have amazing pitching anyway. Trade him for guys similar to Juan Pierre, Hafner, Teixeria, Michael young, Glaus, Russel martin, ricky weeks, konerko, lugo, swisher, Chone Figgins, granderson, (see if peralta is a FA. He is contained by my league) Also, Broxton, Shields , Neshek all fundamentally good RP's. They might not draw from many save but they will all grasp 10saves and 5 wins respectively. You can get like mad of good players for paps and another guy. Good luck!
Mathews and Griffey I would hang on to and I would definitely pickup another Catcher (the best available). 3rd baseman and 3 players that can play 2nd is a bit ridiculous. Why do you think you want clemens, taking a big chance in that. Oitching should be somewhat adeguate but the rest of the lineup is terrible. Any aspect change might be better.
I traded Travis Henry!?
Question:In my keeper League I traded Travis Henry for the 5th pick in the first rd. and the second pick in the second rd and Deshawn Foster. My RB's are Cadillac, Jones-Drew, and Deangelo Williams. I'm in a keeper fantasy legue, was this a smart move. I had no picks in the first and the 11th pick in the second rd.
Thanks
Answers:
This is hard for us to evaluate, not knowing who else is "kept," and how many teams you have.
It's probably a good thing, because Cadillac and the Carolina boys aren't the most reliable RBs out there. Mike Shanahan is the Devil, so Travis Henry will share time with Mike Bell. Bell may end up being the goalline back, poaching production from Henry.
If it gives you a shot at another marquee RB, or say a top QB tier, it's probably outstanding.
I'll say this, you seem to have gotten a lot for it, and that second pick should net you a tasty WR.
I'm guessing this is a great deal for you.
Marcus how'd your boys do this weekend?
Answers:
They whooped the Cowboys 42 - 17 on NBC Sunday Night Football. I should have bet money on them, they were underdogs, I hope you watched it. You gotta admit they are for real bro. Hey what's your Y! 360 page link?
TRADE PROPOSAL: Getting David Ortiz and Delmon Young. Giving Miguel Cabrera and Eric Byrnes?
Question:I have solid backup but i'm looking to improve over the course of the year. What do y'all give attention to?
Answers:
Yea, I would take that. Delmon Young have 2 HR's either second night or 2 night ago, and is better then Byrnes, and will produce more afterwards him too. Byrnes is usually a Fantasy Baseball Bench Player. David Ortiz for Miguel Cabrera, that is a no brainer. Ortiz have superior Power to Cabrera and will knock in more runs too especially next to the Red Sox being as Hot as they are. It seem like at hand is almost always a man on 2nd when he get up. Then he has Manny at the rear him to drive him in. Only point Cabrera has on him is a few more AVG points. This is an awesome trade for you. Bite on it formerly it's too late.
I know Delmon in recent times had a two homer activity, but I would keep Byrnes and Cabrera. I deem they will be a better combo then what you are getting within return.
In terms of straight productivity, I would do that trade. Miguel Cabrera is a stud at 3rd floor but that is a gaping position this season. Ortiz is pretty much unrivaled at what he does with the certainty that he blasts 45+ homeruns easy next to 120+ rbi's. Byrnes is having a great season right presently but he's a streaky player that tends to fade out as the season wear on. Not to mention the kamikaze style that he plays increases his chances of missing games.
If you can cover losing some of Byrnes steals, you won't be losing much but achievement a whole lot of power numbers.
No brainer here, bring the trade and laugh adjectives the way. Ortiz is anyone moved around this year because his numbers are down, this will not last long. Young this is a talent here playing on a troop where he will bring all the at bat he wants. Giving up any of the players you are giving up will not hurt too much. I say verbs the trigger!
Depends on the rest of your roster but in jargon of getting the better fantasy numbers next this is a great deal for you. Byrnes is an average role-play player who has peaked professionally so what you've already see is as good as it get. Young has monster potential and have put up better numbers than Byrnes and should improve as he become more familar with the pitchers and how they will pitch him. If you are flawless at 3rd then Cabrera for Ortiz is markedly good, ortiz will post better numbers but cabrera does play a delicate fantasy position. If you already hold a very fitting 1st baseman and no good backup 3rd sacker this trade could bite you though so product sure it makes honest roster sense but in expressions of pure numbers you are easily getting the better of this business deal.
