Backdoor Slider 8,365 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Currently sitting in 1st place in roto league despite a 2B/SS/MI that currently consists of a combination of NWalker, BPhillips, MSemien, & ASimmons. Guy who has Desmond has plenty of middle and is looking for 1B. I'm thinking of swapping CSantana. Currently I have Santana at my corner spot (Goldy & Frazier at 1B & 3B), and AGonz at my UT so I would just slide AGonz into corner, and any hitter (Kemp likely) slides into UT. I know Desmond's been awful, but ROS outlook appears to be ~.250/40/10/40/10 while CSantana might be looking at .243/45/13/45/3 (Fangraphs). This is a keeper league, but I doubt either of them end up being top 8 round keepers. Thoughts? Leave a link. Happy to help. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCommissioner 37 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wouldn't mind that switch. Desmond has been awful but I think he turns it around. I'd take anyone in that lineup! Link to post Share on other sites
nodnarbnap 37 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think I would absolutely do this, Desmond could easily make that Top 8 for you if he turns it around this second half. http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=524021 Link to post Share on other sites
Backdoor Slider 8,365 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks. Thinking this might be an easy question. I may propose. Wondering if he counters for AGonz. Also wasn't sure if Desmond was in danger of losing playing time (anyone who follows him). Any other thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
Mobdad 1,148 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks like easy an decision to go for it. You certainly need some help up the middle. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCommissioner 37 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Espinosa, Rendon, Escobar are the guys to look out for. Espy and Escobar are hitting well, and Rendon is turning it on. It could lead to more days off for Desmond until he turns it on, but Williams has said time and time again that they will give every opportunity to Desmond this year.

tmccollu 62 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Desmond is a perfect buy low guy right now. For Santana I buy .... For Gonzalez I pass. I'm not worried about him losing playing time sans a short term benching (1-2 games) to get him straightened out. Link to post Share on other sites
StevoSupremo89 130 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I would buy Desmond for Santana yes. http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=524009 Link to post Share on other sites

arrows92 169 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 desmond has has very solid 2nd halves the last 2 years after slow starts, the reason he has been the best fantasy shortstop for the last 2 years combined. IF you think this is what will happen again, make this deal now. i am a desmond owner (drafted him)...i am praying his trend continues for a 3rd year in a row, but i have watched alot of nats games this year, and i am not convinced in the slightest that this trend will continue with him for a 3rd year in a row.

StevieStats 3,888 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wouldn't do it. I think it is unlikely Desmond hits those ROS projections. Going into this year I did NOT like Desmond at all, he had huge red flags in his peripherals including K-Rate and Swing Strike trends from the last few years. If you look at Desmond's peripherals, his BABIP and everything is in check with what he's doing -- he really is just flat out playng this poorly. I didn't think Desmond would be this bad, but I am certainly not shocked either. He might be secretly injured or something, but I am not seeing anything that suggests he will turn this around. Thanks for helping with mine. Link to post Share on other sites
tonywow 1,186 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hard to say what happens with Ian. Last 2 years his second half's were better, but just putrid thus far this season. Seems like they have a lot of options in place of Ian, Escobar, Espinosa, rumors of trading for Zobrist. Santana isn't that amazing either and you seem set at the spots he can play for you, think it MIGHT be worth a shot on Ian. I have him in 2 leagues, drafted him in one thinking he'd likely be the best SS for fantasy considering Tulo always ends up DLd, and traded for him in another league, forget exactly why though lol. If I had a spare part and a need at SS I think I'd probably take a shot on him. You're in first, doubt a swap of Santana to Ian will lose the season for you, if he does get going then looks like a big win for you. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFuture1 177 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Given your depth at the corner infield and your need for middle infield I would take the gamble since you already have gonzo to slide over and in fantasy I think it's all about making a gamble here and there and this one is a perfect scenario.. Yes it's boom or bust but it sounds like even if it doesn't pan out its not gonna kill your team http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=524061 Link to post Share on other sites

Backdoor Slider 8,365 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Appreciate the help guys. I offered Santana for Desmond and he countered with Freeman & Desmond for Goldy... Ummm...no thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
