Potential acquisitions

[TruffleShuffle]

Here are a couple of free agents in a league that I'm in. I'm interested in both, but am not sure if it's worth dropping someone to grab them:

 

RP Tom Gordon

OF Rocco Baldelli

 

 

My team:

 

C Mike Piazza

1B Paul Konerko

2B Tad Iguchi

3B Bill Hall

SS Hanley Ramirez

OF Manny Ramirez

OF Carlos Lee

OF Alfonso Soriano

OF Barry Bonds

1B/OF Nick Swisher

SS (waiting for 2B eligibility) Felipe Lopez

 

SP Daisuke

SP Lackey

RP K-Rod

RP Brian Fuentes

RP Dempster

RP Jason Frasor

SP Tim Hudson

SP Aaron Harang

SP Ervin Santana

SP Chris Young

 

 

Thoughts?

What kind of league is it. If your league is roto, then definitely get Baldelli. I'd probably get him either way, actually.

 

Pickup Baldelli, drop Frasor. Trade one of your OFs for some IF help. You could actually probably trade 2 of them (and/or Konerko) for a stud IF, possibly at 3B and move Hall to the OF.

I'm assuming your in a standard 5x5 H2H league. When making roster decisions, I use PECOTA projections adjusted for current performance.

 

Lopez at 2B would make the team slightly better if he does obtain 2B eligibility.

 

Baldelli also projects to be a slight improvement over Swisher.

[TruffleShuffle]

categories are:

 

R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, K, OPS, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

 

what do you think about waiting til Lopez gains 2B eligibility and then dropping Iguchi for Baldelli?

You should grab Rocco now. Someone will get a brain and pick him up.
