Team Help - Overkill on SP?

shoemosher  6/13/2013 11:30 AM

Hey all,

Trying to not overreact to a couple of bad weeks for my fantasy team. In a 12-team, 10-keeper, H2H categories league. I've been hoarding some DL guys, while I face weaker competition, but I'm getting no production from my middle infield, and I'm looking to improve things there. 

Obviously I'm supposed to get Hill back soon, but I'm worried about his hand and how that will effect him rest of season. I just picked up Simmons, after dropping League. But Prado and Asdrubal have been pretty poor for me this year. 

So I'm considering moving one of my top tier pitchers, for some elite infield help. Thinking about something along the lines of Scherzer for Pedroia. Scherzer is at peak value now, and I still have 3 studs behind him. Keeping in mind, I can keep 10 players. Who do you think makes sense as a trade candidate, and who has the most trade value? Is Scherzer for Pedroia crazy?

Any advice or feedback is apprecaite. Thanks all.

Hah, how could that trade possibly be considered crazy? You are trading great pitching for great hitting, moving strength to shore up weakness. And on top of it, there are eight offensive categories versus only five for pitching, which means you should be more concerned with hitting in the first place.
