Chris Young/Hafner/Guillen for Soto/Holliday

[soccer10k]

Is it worth it? I would be giving up Soto and Holliday.

 

Offensively I have:

 

C: Soto

1B: Howard

2B: Roberts

3B: ARam

SS: Yunel Escobar

OF: Holliday, Hart, Swisher

Util: Victor Martinez/Fukudome/Youkilis

BN: Kemp

 

Would it be better if Hafner was removed from the deal since he apparently can't hit anything anymore?

 

I'm leaning towards no because I don't think it really addresses my problems which have been HR and RBI.

If Chris Young is the pitcher, then no.

 

If Chris Young is the outfielder, then HELL no.

Definitely the pitcher which is why I only listed offensive players but I should have specified.

[17 Seconds]

Hell no.

Currently 14th ranked OF in standard Yahoo leagues.

Dude, there are like 77 Guillens and 14 Chris Youngs in the league. You need to be more specific.

Carlos Guillen from Detroit.

 

If you couldn't tell, I'm kinda new to this whole fantasy thing. Offensive categories are R, H, HR, RBI, SB, K, AVG and it's a H2H weekly 8 team league.

I also say No in a tougher call than the "hell no" above but I like Chris B. Young.

 

But you could do it and then I think you'd set a record for number of players on a fantasy team that qualify at 1B.

Baseball Prospectus doesn't think Hafner will make a comeback this year, FWIW. I think he was pegged for around 27 home runs this year, and he's going to tail off in production from here on out.

 

Soto is arguably a Top 3 offensive catcher, in the entire major leagues, right now and perhaps through the rest of the season (McCann and V-Mart being the others, and you already got V-Mart). Holliday will be Matt Holliday and likely rake in Coors and put up similar numbers to last year.

 

I say no, based on Hafner's likely down season, and Soto's projected greatness out of a tough offensive position. That and if you DID do that deal, you'd have to drop a player since you're taking on one more in trade. Also keep in mind that while HR and RBi have been your biggest concern right now, it will get better. Ryan Howard will probably end up with 45 home runs or more again, and A-Ram is already hitting the ball well. You might want to shop around Victor Martinez for a upgrade in your outfield. Victor is a great hitter, but his power numbers are down big time so far thus year, but he's still a top offensive catcher and should likely draw big interest from someone who has no decent catcher

 

I'd shop around
