ssmarsh 26 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 After some off-season wheeling and dealing, I'm looking at heading into my 10 team, AL only, $260 auction draft with the following keepers (we can keep 7): C - Inge ($2) CO - Garko ($1) MI - Punto ($1) OF - Rios ($13 - have to keep him due to LT contract) SP - Greinke ($8 after I long term him) SP - Meche ($10) CL - Soria ($24) I've still got some tradeable value in guys like Torii Hunter ($17), Johnny Damon ($17) and Curtis Granderson ($19) and was wondering if it's worth it to try and make another deal go get a cheaper SP than Meche. I could go after a $1 Joe Saunders or something like that. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

CrypTviLL 838 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 try trading granderson, see what u can get from him Link to post Share on other sites
loogy 0 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Seems that Granderson, Damon, and Hunter all have some room (not a lot) for profit at those prices, so I would see if I could parlay one of them, or a combination of players, to get a ungrade to one for your keepers. Worth a shot. Link to post Share on other sites
RotoRaysfan 1,088 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Not a fan of Saunders this year - BABIP correction big-time. If you can get a true upgrade, it's obviously worth it, but I don't specifically see Saunders as better than your SP's (who are cheap given your AL-only format). Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm not actively looking to replace Meche on my keeper list, but if I could upgrade someplace I would. An owner in my league just posted to the league mesage board that he's looking for OF's. He's got Pedroia at $4 so I'll go knocking on his door and see if he answers. Link to post Share on other sites
yanksn07 1 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I would think about keeping Granderson vs. Soria... that seems like a high price for a closer... maybe try trading him... im sure you can get a lindstrom or a wilson... there are always plenty of closers... please help me too thanks http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=122785 Link to post Share on other sites

ssmarsh 26 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, that one's a tossup, but with Inge qualifying at C (while playing 3B) he's a huge value at $2 in a two catcher league. Link to post Share on other sites

I could go after a $1 Joe Saunders or something like that. Any thoughts? I would not go after Saunders - peripherals offer some worry. Even at $1, if he regresses to his peripheral norms he could do real damage. Rios is an excellent value. In a keeper auction league, AL-only, $260 cap, I cannot even imagine what it would cost to get Pedroia - I would never trade him going into the auction. Link to post Share on other sites
