Fantasy Trade Help - jstbuch - 06-02-2013 I am in a Dynasty League in it's 4th year. My offense is unbelievable for a 12 team league. I literally am first in every offensive stat but two and those two I am second (avg and hr's). My offense sits as follows: C: Willin Rosario 1b: Joey Votto 2b: Dustin Pedrioa SS: Troy Tulo 3b: Miggy Cabrera OF: Adam Jones OF: Jacoby Ellsbury OF: Dominic Brown UT: Jed Gyorko B: Josh Willingham B: Raul Ibanez DL: Mark Tex DL: Curtis Granderson My pitching, which has traditionally been my strength, has really struggled. I traded Darvish for Adam Jones in the off season simply because he walks so many freaking people last year but now it's a mistake. Almost all my pitchers are struggling. I'm last in wins, 3rd to last in whip and walks and doing well in saves, hold, , k's, and picking up ground in ERA. SP: Gio Gonzales SP: King Felix RP: Jason Grilli RP: Jonathon Papelbon RP: Francisco Rodriguez P: Jesse Crain P: Darin Downs P: Jared Burton B: Jeff Samardjzia B: Derek Holland B: Kris Medlen B: Dan Haren B: Michael Wacha B: Jake Odorizzi B: Bruce Rondon DL: Josh Johnson DL: Roy Halladay With, Halladay, Johnson, Medlen, Haren, and even Gio to a lesser extent all struggling, it's been a rough go. I am barely hanging onto first. Okay... so maybe this doesn't seem like a big deal but I love Jedd Gyorko. Would you trade him for Jeremey Hellickson or Trevor Bauer? What about Justin Masterson? I know he seems like the best of these guys but I just don't trust the k's. And in a league with an inning cap, ratios are super important. Maybe I am wrong. RE: Fantasy Trade Help - rascrush - 06-02-2013 i personally would go with trevor for him. On a lesser note how the hell you get all those good players lol RE: Fantasy Trade Help - iconms - 06-02-2013 Assuming you have Gyorko at a very cheap value in this dynasty format, I would hold on to him longer and wouldn't trade him for any of the guys you mentioned. Is it a standard 5 x 5 in terms of stat categories? RE: Fantasy Trade Help - alfredoleal2001 - 06-02-2013 Im not sure, but since you got teixeira back you culd put him on the util spot and use teh extra pitching help you need. Maybe you could wait for tex to heat it up a bit before doing it. RE: Fantasy Trade Help - jstbuch - 06-03-2013 The stats are: Hitting: Runs, HR, SB, AVG, OPS, RBI, and BB Pitching: Wins, walks, k's, sv, holds, era, and whip We talked and I think we are actually going to do something a bit better. Gyorko and Ellsbury for Matt Harvey and Dexter Fowler. As far as how I got all these players, I am a very active trader and I keep an eye on the trends. I actually don't collect prospects. This is the most prospects I have ever had during the season. But I am very good on waivers before the season start and load up on prospects and then unload them during spring training. I do it every single year. I usually get 5-6 guys during the initial waiver process and most guys get 1. I also rarely ever trade for pitching and nearly every off season I unload all my closers for a player or two. Since so few closers keep their jobs, their off season value is super low but trade value always seems to be good with guys who finished in the lower half of saves the year before. My offense is so freaking stupid. RE: Fantasy Trade Help - rascrush - 06-03-2013 lol oh so your league is one of those leagues that allow pick-ups in the offseason kinda makes sense then. See I close pick-ups in the offseason in my league that way people cant pick up all the stud prospects they are in the draft this way. ya your offense is pretty sick kinda reminds me of my team in my dynasty league c-posey 1st votto 2nd- zobrist ss- reyas 3rd- a-rod 1st/3rd-rizzo ss/2nd- andrus of-trout of-kemp of-ellsbury utl-harper utl-pence b-youkilis I then have castallanos billy hamilton oscar taveras all on my bench just waiting to be called up my pitching is not as good as yours though mostly prospects waiting to be called up the top people for my sp are bumgarner shelby miller bucholtz darvish buaer teheran RE: Fantasy Trade Help - jstbuch - 06-03-2013 We don't allow pick ups the entire off season. We play on Yahoo and close pick ups the day before the last day of the season and I usually have the league up the day Yahoo has them up. But it's usually up a solid month before the season. We set waivers to 5 days as soon as we load the teams. This is my bread and butter lol. RE: Fantasy Trade Help - rascrush - 06-03-2013 Ya I just wait till after the draft that way people dont load up on prospects and then the draft sucks but hey everyone does there league a dif way RE: Fantasy Trade Help - jstbuch - 06-03-2013 We don't have a draft since it's a dynasty league you keep everyone. But when the league starts Yahoo adds new players every year so your initial waiver spot is important for picking up prospects. I am just better organized and use the system better than everyone else. |
