Someone offered Fielder + Alex Gordon or Werth for Felix

unbigote  4/15/2014 10:55 AM

If I take the offer, I'd drop Yelich or Brantley (leaning towards Brantley right now). The guy also has Cespedes and Rios, whom I could try to get instead of the outfielders on offer. Multiple people in this league seem interested in Felix and I am not opposed to moving him for the right offer, though I am also happy to have him anchor my staff. I've been trying to go after a first baseman but most owners have been reluctant to part with the solid mid-range options. I was originally trying to finagle a swap of Grienke and Hawkins for Fielder, but seems that's a no go.

This is in a 12 team h2h league with 6 keepers. I'm torn between going with a sort of punt HR/RBI strategy--maybe not full on punt, but deemphasis on those stats based on how my draft turned out. I think the trade would make my team more well rounded, however, it would also mean I'm not going to dominate pitching every week.

Informed (even ill-informed) opinions/analysis would be very much appreciated.

Fielder + Werth is a very good offensive package for this season and you should be able to find streamable SP on the wire for h2h. But I'd also be comfortable with Felix as a staff headliner, and his trade value is not going down any time soon, so I don't see much urgency here. Yelich > Brantley because of the keeper considerations.

Thanks MB, is it alright if I call you MB?

I'm definitely mulling this one over. I haven't seen Fielder play yet, but I have read a few doom and gloom/portends of things to come stories. I've been looking for a lower priced bat but haven't found one yet (though it's still extremely early); my teams generally don't have such a high-end pitcher to start the season, but it has been kinda of nice so far.
