Backdoor Slider 8,295 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I own Goldy. Not in panic mode, but think counting stats could be down this year with Pollock out. I could get Rizzo + Chapman (I own Miller, 4 x 4 so saves super valuable) for Goldy + ARussell. So the questions: How close is Rizzo to Goldy? Thoughts on Adison Russell? Will he become a big time keeper? **My current starters would be Dee Gordon, Semien, & TStory. Have Carpenter too if one of the SS flops. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

Backdoor Slider 8,295 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Haha I think Rizzo is real close to Goldy (except average, of course). So do I not part with Russell? Link to post Share on other sites
RAZRr1275 609 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I don't think Rizzo is that far from Goldy if he plays like he does last year but I'd take Goldy's consistency over him. Russell could become a big time keeper at some point. I have no worries about Goldy this year so I'd say no http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=588419 Link to post Share on other sites
Rush2112 4,324 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Keep Goldy/Russell Link to post Share on other sites
Backdoor Slider 8,295 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Any other thoughts? Rizzo just 26, studly lineup. Think this could be great opportunity. How much of Addison's value is glove? He hits bottom of the lineup. My keepers: Bryce, Goldy, Mookie, EE, JoFer, Arrieta, Carrasco, Dee Gordon....so not dying for keepers (Russell). Any more input would be great. WHIR Link to post Share on other sites
kornball 49 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Wow, those are some awesome keepers you have - congrats! That being said, Goldy is only a couple years older than Rizzo. I wouldn't do that trade. http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=588553 Link to post Share on other sites
kgizzle 571 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I agree Rizzoli is close and is in a much more powerful lineup. Probably wouldn't do trade because Chap handcuffs a roster spot for a month but it's a decent offer. Link to post Share on other sites
Backdoor Slider 8,295 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Just FYI the 4 x 4 increases value of closers. We don't use Ks. Our categories are W, S, ERA, & K/BB. Jansen, Kimbrel, Davis, Chapman...top closers are often kept. My biggest concern is the value of Russell. Does he become a .275/20/10 SS as early as this year? Or is he overrated (for fantasy)?

jackmettler 0 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I would stick with your keepers Link to post Share on other sites
B.J. 79 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I would stick with Goldy and Russell. While Goldy and Rizzo are close in value, Russell has the potential to be a very good player for a very long time. I'd hate to sell him short for a closer. Mind taking a look at mine? http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=588526 Link to post Share on other sites
bknight272000 7 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I agree that Rizzo is close to Goldy. The problem here is that Chapman, even with the inflated value in your league, Isn't worth Addison Russell. If you can get them to throw in another decent player go for it. Otherwise NO. As for Russell I think this year we will see more power from him. You ask if he will be a .275/20/10 guy? I say yes. He will hit ,275 easy in the near future. He will probably exceed the 20 HR this year. He had 5 in spring training. You have to remember last season was his first full season of baseball in a couple years because of injuries. Part of his value is inflated for defense as he is a stud but everything I read about the guy talks about his high baseball IQ. He is also in a lineup that puts absolutely no pressure on him to preform. I think this will help him relax. So in long don't do the trade as it stands now. http://forums.rotoworld.com/index.php?showtopic=588532 Link to post Share on other sites
