Morse/Konerko for Victorino?

tomm0  4/10/2013 10:37 AM

What do you guys think about giving up either Konerko or Morse for Victorino?  I know it's early, but I only have 2 steals so far on the year while the leader has 12.  I currently have a dilemma and can only start 2 of Morse, De Aza, Fowler, and Konerko every week.  Projections have Victorino pretty low which I am assuming it's because of his OPS.

Morse has been a monster.  Are there no cheap steals in your league?

tomm0  4/10/2013 11:08 AM

There are a few guys on the wire like Parra, Span, Ruggiano.  Only problem is who am I dropping?  And then I am picking between 5 guys for 2 starting spots instead of just 4.

Constantine9  4/10/2013 11:15 AM

With Goldy and Butler on hand, I'd trade Konerko. But that still would give you 4 players vying for two spots, and I don't see sitting Morse or Dexter.

ken_admin  4/10/2013 11:18 AM

Good point, that your team doesn't have someone to drop so a trade does seem best.

Also with Victorino, once Drew and Ortiz return, he'll be hitting lower in the order 6/7 which is why our projection isn't very generous.

tomm0  4/10/2013 11:33 AM

Yeah it's tough to sit Morse or Fowler right now.  Though I had Fowler on my bench last week with 4 HR and Konerko is there this week with 1.  Including De Aza's bomb last week I've left 6 total HR on my bench so far in just a week and a half.  I figure de Aza could slide in if I really start getting desperate for steals, but I'd like to turn this excess into a quality player.  I'm not really sure what to do at this point.

You've got power adequately addressed elsewhere. What about something like Jay Bruce for Jacoby Ellsbury?

tomm0  4/10/2013 1:52 PM

That could possibly work as one owner has Carlos Gonzalez, Justin Upton, and Ellsbury.  He initially said he wanted Longoria AND someone else for any of them, however that wouldn't work since I don't have another 3B and the only options on the wire are Polanco, Callaspo, and Descalso.

tomm0  4/11/2013 10:27 PM

So revisiting this post, an owner with Bumgarner, Greinke, Shields, Latos, and Matt Moore is looking for a bat.  I've been dangling Konerko.  I figure I could use the pitching, and I think the steals will come as my team is projected for 167.  Might be easier to deal a pitcher for speed anyway.  Any thoughts on this?

Constantine9  4/15/2013 10:34 AM

As loaded as you are at 1B, I'd trade Konerko for any of those SPs except maybe Greinke..
