Should I pull the trigger 2

[nilodnayr]

I want more pitching and was just offered Sheets and OCab for Alex Gordon and Theriot.

Standard roto categories?

 

I'd pull the trigger on that one. Gordon is looking like he'll end up getting a 3-4 week demotion at some point, and Theriot vs OCab is about a wash. Sheets is worth the risk on Gordon.

[nilodnayr]

Yeah standard 5x5 12 team 5 keeper league. Just acquired Atkins so right now Gordon is going to be sitting for Andy LaRoche. Publically at least the Royals say their sticking with Gordon, but hes not helping them at all. I'm sure its been tough for them to stick with him and its been especially tough for me. Plus I figure Ryan Braun has to get called up sometime soon.

 

The trade got cancelled because he just traded OCab in a different deal, but hes interested in Griffey. I'm completely fine with selling high on him. Just proposed Griffey and Gordon for Upton and Sheets. If push comes to shove I'll throw Theriot in too as he'd be a bench/spot starter. Either way, I think its a steal for me. Sheets is healthy, his production will come.

Yeah, that'd probably be a steal for you too. I'm a big Sheets fan, and same with Upton. Either one could prove to be keeper-worthy.

I have my own "Should I pull the trigger"

 

I trade Tejada and Freel

 

I get Glaus and Hardy

 

I don't ever play Freel, and I need to add some power.

I would do it in a heartbeat.

[Mephistopheles]

see if you can get someone other than Hardy. Glaus is eligible at short in Yahoo leagues if thats what it is.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

For the curious, we ended up agreeing on me sending Tejada, Freel, and Josh Hamilton(another guy I never used since I have Sosa, Teahen and Cuddyer) for Glaus and Victorino. Any suggestions on pitchers I should go after with my free spot? Shields is out there, as is Blanton.

[Mephistopheles]

dotel might be out there and hes supposed to be coming back in a week or so. he should be closing relatively soon, i assume

No luck with Dotel, he's on the worst team in the league(whose roster can be summed up as "Cardinals and Closers"), and I have Soria anyway so hopefully he keeps the job. Thanks for the feedback.

I thought I heard something about Blanton that suggested his recent success is not a fluke. Don't remember what, but I'd pick him up. I have Shields and his ratios are great, but his lack of wins are maddening. His play is bound to regress so his chance of winning is going to go down even more. I'm trying to dish him while his value is high, but hes not a bad option to pick up right now. I've been doing well with him, Carmona, and Germano filling out my back end.
