Thin Spirit 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Very, very deep league I'm in... 18 teams, 2 bench spots... scoring is as follows... R, H, 2B, HR, RBI, SB, K, E, AVG, IP, W, L, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP I'm sitting in third place with a team that looks like this; C - Michael Barrett 1B - Adrian Gonzalez 2B - Brandon Phillips 3B - Mark Teahen SS - Khalil Green LF - Hideki Matsui CF - Shane Victorino RF - Vlad Guerrero Util - Hunter Pence BN - Barry Bonds BN - Ty Wigginton SP - Roy Oswalt SP - Scott Kazmir SP - Barry Zito SP - Micah Owings RP - Brian Fuentes RP - JJ Putz p - Casey Janssen P - Dustin Moseley P - Doug Brocail DL - Henry Owens DL - Josh Johnson Got offered a trade of Carlos Guillen for Brian Fuentes. I'm tempted to make the deal but I'm already in the upper half of the league in offense, but I'm lacking in the pitching numbers. Would you make this deal? Ryan Madson is out on the WW, any word on if he'll close out games for the Phillies from here on out... or how long Myers is out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Fuentes is a very good closer who will get shelled from time to time in COL (roasting your WHIP & ERA in 5X5 or costing you points in points league), while Guillen is RAKING lately. What you need to do is drop the injured but returning Owens and add Gregg - the Marlins announced that even when Owens comes back, Gregg will remain the closer due to his 12 innings of 1 run ball. He stapped up and grabbed the job. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GettnHuge 1 Posted May 26, 2007 Guillen is such an improvement over Greene that normally I'd say do it, specially since I don't value closers as much as other owners. BUT, Fuentes has 30 saves each of the last two years and is cruising again this year with 10 saves this month alone. Makes the decision easy, keep him.

GettnHuge 1 Posted May 26, 2007 Yer team sux it sux in that they have the IP category instead of holds. Normally in leagues this size I'd skip closers entirely and use those picks on other players while picking up holds guys in the last round so that every week you go 1-1 in those two categories.

Q.T. 5 Posted May 26, 2007 Not a bad idea to upgrade Greene, but don't give Fuentes to do it. Perhaps you could move one of your outfielders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasperisOK 0 Posted May 26, 2007 I think Fuentes would be too high of a price to pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMoney 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Madson is part of the 3 headed, 31 finger closer monster in phily..him, suckass geary and al-fon-six-a... madsons clearly the better guy...myers couldnt be out for awhile..how did he hurt it? swinging and missing his woman?... fuentes gets his saves..but he annoys me to watch...so erratic... i wouldnt do it if u alreayd have offense...i would do it for another arm perhaps.. pick up bruan..or gallardo when he gets called up next week...
