trade thoughts for Hanley

[hoosierdaddy]

I am currently in 8th out of nine teams in my NL Only 5x5 roto keeper league. I need runs and HR. I have been offered J.Roll ($30) and Fowler ($16) for Hanley ($44) and Cousins ($5). I think I know the answer, but confirmation is always good. I think I should hold Hanley in case I need to sell him later for better prospects. I just don't think JRoll and Fowler really help me in this situation. The rest of my team is on the side if you are wondering.

I would hang on to hanram.....I am not a jroll fan. Now I would try and shop hanram, but trade a stud, get a stud.

In a vacuum, the difference between Fowler and Cousins, in a league this deep is quite significant and if you were competing, the deal is perfectly defensible.

But as you suggest, you need to consider it in context -- does it get you into the money and if not, are Rollins/Fowler keepers or can they fetch you better keepers than Hanley can. You know your league so the best I can do is pose that question.

Again, if you said something like "I am in 5th and have some lineup hole, is doing this 2 for 1 helpful", the answer would be yes.

But, you're not in 5th

Rollins and Fowler might help you in Runs - they certainly won't add Home Runs and I think you are selling Hanley too short

also, OF isn't really where you have holes -- replacing Heisey with Fowler is good, but your problems are Brandon Wood and (injured) Chipper.
