I’d rather have Castro in keepers, and I think we’ve seen the best we’re going to see from EE, but its a fair deal if you need the power.

Or hold. Thanks

Rizzo for Heath Bell?

Is he worth any full time closer above Heath Bell?

NL Only 12-Team Roto

Weekly lineups. Really need to lower my ERA and WHIP to maintain my lead. 4X4, no Ks counted.

But I’d want Miggy over Votto and Felix over Zimm in each case, so I think you made the right move.

q’s:

std yahoo 5×5 12 team roto league

opponent offered votto and pitcher zimmerman for my miggy cabrerra and king felix (votto and miggy are about equal (top 5 picks) – but the pitchers are not)

i rejected it

am i missing something? was this in any way fair or a good deal i should have taken? i haven’t traded in this league before, so i dont think i have a rep as an easy target; my team is hovering between 2nd and 3rd place out of 12 – pitching is a bit shaky based on the stats

I have Samardzija but Harrison is available. I need wins and not sure if the additional K’s are that neccessary.

I still have Caupano (terrible)
Peavy
Bauer (being stored)
Buchholz
Miley

But if your in contention you might want to keep Votto.

I’m in one of those leagues where it makes sense to start a RP/SP as opposed to having a true closer in that spot. So in my pathetic state who would you start? Kyle Kendrick against TB or Lucas Harrell against Cleveland. I think its Harrell, just looking for some support in this sad pathetic decision

What are your thoughts on this? Is Hosmer going to be keeper worthy of a top 5 round pick for next year?

Maybe you can get a closer a bit more reliable than Marmol.
