Razzballers help! So earlier in the season, after the draft, I took advantage of a knee-jerk owner and sent him Micheal Cuddyer (who would get mired in an awful slump) for Chase Utley and the at-the-time gloomy cloud cast over him. I couldnt believe he accepted. So now that Utleys nearing a return, I sent out trade offers for him. This is a deep 16 team H2H weekly pts, and even aside from that fact, scoring is weighted slighty more to pitching. Pitching is SCARCE. No biters. The guys that I did talk to said they were looking for pitching too, and the 2nd highest scoring guy thus far in the league took pitchers with his first 10 or so picks. Here I had Prado and Beltre, allowing me let someone else take the risk on Utley. Not that he couldn’t replace my DH, Coghlan, but my lineup is hitting plenty and like I said, pitching is more important. I drafted Hughes as my 3rd pitcher, and Lackey as my 5th. Plus I have Beachy, who just got hurt, and Oswalt’s back has screwed me of 2 consecutive weeks starts. But right now I’m in contact by texting with the only guy who will make a deal. He basically just texted me the two trades he is going back and forth on. I FEEL LIKE I CAN SWAY HIM EITHER WAY RIGHT NOW. I need to know which is the best scenario:
A:I give Utley/McClellan/Narveson and get D. Hudson/E. Santana.
(Requires no adjustment of my lineup, and I won’t even miss Utley.)
pitchers in scenario:Lee, Oswalt, Beckett, Burnett, D. Hudson, E. Santana, Beachy(DL),Lackey, Colon, Duensing, Alex White, Tyson Ross, Hughes(DL)
B:I give Beltre/McClellan/Narveson/Lackey and get D. Hudson AND R. Romero plus J. Neise.
(This forces me to take the risk on Utley, and I give up a healthy and raking Beltre and move Prado to 3rd. I would also immediately drop Neise and pick up a fill-in at 2B until Utley returns)
pitchers in scenario:Lee, Oswalt, Beckett, Burnett, D. Hudson, R. Romero, Beachy(DL),Colon, Duensing, Alex White, Tyson Ross, Hughes(DL)
C:Wait until Utley returns and hope he tears it up.

@Steve: Given how his season has been, that's pretty much poking his tongue out.

anybody have a clue what’s going on with Pierre?

He could be a possible buy low, you don’t go from stealing 68 to getting caught all time in one year. There’s got to some sort of decline first, right?

I’m desperate for SBs, and think it might be worth a shot.

@Grey: S'up Doode! Would you drop either Thornton or Lilly for Bedard or Arrieta? Dropping Thornton leaves me out on a limb with only Farnsworth and Santos as closers. Dropping Lilly leaves me admitting a failed 12th round pick.....don't think Lilly is as bad as he looks, but liking both Bedard and Arrieta with upcoming matchups....much obliged.

@Grey: nice. I'm thinking of making a play for Kennedy. I think the guy who has him likes Gio, might make a 1 for 1 offer.

Who do you like better for the rest of the year: Gio or Kennedy?

@Grey: Thanks. Still in H2H, got Scherzer v TOR and E-Jax v TEX available to me tomorrow. Potential banana skins both, but have to start them on current form, right?

@Mr2Bits: Play them. @AnotherFalstaff: Johan @Steve: Sure, roll out Rolen.

By: Steve

Steve — Sun, 15 May 2011 23:22:45 +0000

@Mr2Bits: I just needed it to break a tie in steals. 7-5 just sounds better than 6-5 when you're playing the team in 1st, y'know? Moves you further up the standings too. @Grey: Gordon has been manning 3rd for me in H2H since Zimm went down, but I feel like the shine is wearing off. Swap him out for Rolen, Valencia, Betemit or Callaspo? We count OBP...

Grey : I am leading OBP by .001 and tied in homers. I have Youk(vs Garcia) and Cano(vs. Lester) going off tonight but am wondering if I should bench one or both in hopes to hold onto that OBP lead. He has Lowrie tonight as well.

What are your thoughts and who should I bench if any?
