My team lacks speed. And I've invested a lot in the hitting so I wanted any speed I can get. With Gordon, McCutchen, Maybin and Crisp there might be enough to compete there in SBs. I could replace Crisp with someone off the waiver wire like Campana and play him when the Cubs play righties what do you think of that? I'm planning on adding Bauer from AZ to take Beachys spot in my rotation and will probably take a flier on Bud Norris as last start really blew up his ratios which were solid before that. here is a link to my team, not sure if you guys can see the pending deal for McCutchen though... http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/188548/2
Rasmus was thrown in the deal along with Beachy.3K+

I can't see a pending deal.
If your looking for cheap steals then I would pick up Campana. They sat him for 4-5 games to get more power into the lineup but he has started the last 3 games all in the leadoff spot and responded with a few hits and steals. He also has more steals in the last 10 games (4-5 of those games he didn't start) than Crisp has had on the whole year.1k+

yeah I think I will snag Campana drop Crisp. I can then play matchups with Campana and Maybin I'll play Campana against ALL righties assuming he's in the lineup. Then when hes out of the lineup ill go Maybin. That should give me enough speed with McCutchen and Gordon to be decent at steals. Thank you for the advice reps for ya.

My gut tells me to go with Beckham. He always projected as a stud its just taken him a while, he was rushed at the beginning of his career. He has a good shot at being better the rest of the way, and at worst I don't think he'll be much worse than Kendrick assuming Kendrick rebounds and Beckham regressed.

I'd take Gordon over Kendrick. Kendrick's strikeout and walk rate have gone the wrong way this season. Beckham is showing signs of coming together.
Edit: I've changed my mind. I had a chance to look at some more advanced stats and Beckham has been hitting more ground balls so far. His BABIP is low but his Flyball/Homerun is high and with that ground-ball rate expect the homerun's to come down. Of course more hits could be expected but between him and Kendrick, Kendrick is the safer bet. Gordon has that potential but he has been hit in the low .200's for the last couple years and his stats show no sign of him breaking out just a little hot streak. Simply put, Gordon's floor for production is lower than Kendricks.Last edited by drock2190; 06-05-2012 at 07:24 AM.

Thats a tough one, but I just picked up Beckham two weeks ago after Mark Ellis went down (yes, crappy 2nd basemen in 16 team league). I have been pleasantly surprised and I'm gonna roll with him until he starts playing like crap again. Maybe he has turned it around though.

I appreciate #4. going personal attack for a difference of opinion... Age: 24.
SPs are not on the same level, IMO (is that okay?), as hitters - plain and simple. Sure, they contribute to 4 categories, but that doesn't mean they contribute positively to each of them.. One bad/medicore start from Moore can kill you in H2H. Position players b/c they play everyday can be easily overcome. You target and draft Dunn knowing what you need around him to support his lack of average and speed..
I'm a fan of Moore.. but he's not as valuable as you are protraying him to be..
this is crazy... and i've seen the responses.. smh.
this isn't close... you drop Fowler. look at his home and away splits. he's a product of Coors field. don't make the mistake of dropping a proven or upside guy for someone that is hot....

I'm in 3rd place in a 10 team H2H league... getting killed by injuries, but who isn't.
I was just offered Joe Nathan for Josh Beckett... took that one, I have SP's for days but struggling in the relief department.
Working on getting Justin Upton... I currently have Panda, Longo and Tulo on the DL but they should be coming off soon, so I'm looking to move IF for OF.
Current Lineup is:
C: Molina
1B: Morneau
2B: Kinsler
SS: Aviles
3B: Young
CI: Morales
MI: Kipnis
OF: Stanton
OF: Bruce
OF: Heyward
OF: Fowler
Util: Montero
Util: Kubel
DL: Panda
DL: Tulo
DL: Longo
Proposed Michael Young and Yadier Molina for Upton and McCann... hopefully he bites.
After the Nathan trade my pitching is looking like...
SP:Kennedy
SP:Bailey
RP:Nathan
RP:Betancourt
P: Janssen
P: Clippard
P: Frieri
P:Cain
P:Moore
P:McDonald
P:Peavy
P:Wainwright
P:Wandy Rod

I took TheFullMonty's response to assume he was confused as to why I would offer that trade, meaning that he thought I was on the losing end.
I actually think it's pretty fair. I'm banking on McCann and Upton to make a substantial turnaround, but right now Young and Molina have been the better combo by far.
He hasn't seen the trade yet, so we'll see if he even accepts it.Director/TranceBrah @ Electric For Life and Garuda
