upgrade for Espinosa

#1 Post by bamse31 »

16 team, mixed, 5x5 h2h league, my 2B is D. Espinosa. Is it worth it to offer M. Minor for J. Kipnis? I know there are other considerations, but I thought I could start the discussion here.

We really need the other considerations.

Specifically, who replaces Minor?

That's potentially a pretty good downgrade but Espinosa is scuffling.

It's close enough that if you think you can win more categories, it's worth pursuing but I'd look to upgrade Lilly for sure.

I would make that trade - Kipnis is a very productive 2B (his "on pace" numbers are scary good)
