Obviously I can care less about AVG but still want to get my OPS on. Thinking about dealing Uggla + Franklin (I've done pretty well in the league punting saves, I drafted Franklin mostly because he was slipping in the draft hard, got him in like the 19th) + SPs like Shields/Harden for a Big 3b/SP upgrade. Thoughts?
Real nice hitting team, I think you're right in your assessment. AVG will be a big drain, OPS will be real sweet. Your pitching isn't going to be as great as your hitting, but you should be able to manage. Not real crazy about some of your later/midrange starters as you probably know from reading the site. I like that upgrade if you can pull it off.
