Alright guys, I need help fixing this

Just drafted a keeper team in a 12 team league where you keep 8 players. 6x6 h2h cats with OBP and QS. saves are also changed to sv+hlds so holds guys matter. I missed out on all the top 12 2B and made the mistake of vocalizing it during the draft so everyone started to stack them in attempts to trade me them later. They had already noticed I had 3 3B after I took Franco in the 90s. Im thinking about offering Frazier and Samardzija for Carrasco and Murphy. Do I offer it? sorry for the poor phrasing the first time around

C Ramos
1B Alvarez
2B Spangenburg
3B Arenado
SS Seager
IF Frazier
LF Conforto
CF Pederson
RF J.Martinez
OF C.Davis
OF Puig
UTL Franco

BE Gattis
BE A.J Reed

SP C.Martinez
SP Hamels
SP Verlander
SP Samardzija
SP Walker
RP Betances
RP O'Day
P Magee

BE Darvish
BE Glasnow
BE Giolito

You have Frazier listed as your MI, and no corner infielder. Is it actually just an INF spot? If so, who would replace Frazier?

yeah it is just IF

You're fine, don't sweat it. In an 8 teamer, someone will always be available, Spang isn't bad at all. You don't need to have All Star stats from every position, you just need stats, and you'll have them with that line-up. Don't panic and do a deal you'll regret.

Yep, good advice from Hornsby.

Thanks Hornsby! Your advice tends to be pretty on lock ive noticed. It is a 12 team league though. We just get to keep 8. I dont know if that changes your stance. Ill change the description because upon rereading it, its very poorly worded. sorry about that

[Hornsby]

Even better lineup with a 12 team league...grab Spangy's back-up if you need to, otherwise, get another closer if you can, and sail on to moneyland.

I'd do that deal for Carrasco and Murphy in a minute. Carrasco, IMO, is a huge upgrade over Samardjzia and Murphy fills the hole at 2B. I like Frazier, but Jeff S. Could well be waiver bait in a 12-teamer.

I definitely agree with you that Carrasco is a huge upgrade over Samardzija and that Murphy would fill the hole of questionable Spangenburg. The only reason I have Samardzija is because he fell to the 140s and I had no true ace so I wanted to pile up the middle tier guys. I talked to the Carrasco owner though and hes pretty bullish on him and doesnt want Frazier anyway. He did not have Arrieta labeled as untouchable though and hes interested in Franco. Who would you offer with Franco for Arrieta and Murphy if I go that route?

Any of your starters. I like CMart and Hamels, but to get Arrieta, I'd deal either of the with Franco if it could make that deal happen.

That's not a horrible deal but I'd pass. I like Carrasco this year but don't love giving up a hitter keeper for a pitcher keeper with injury history. Like others have said above, don't make a panic move this early. Things will change early in the season and you've got some surpluses you can use to strike at the right time.

The guy offered me Arrieta for Frazier and Samardzija and I took it. I did like having that 30 HRs in my lineup and I might have given too much for some depending on their JS value, but I like having a true ace to anchor my staff with C-Marts potential shoulder woes a little more. Im also not a huge Samardzija fan. I owned him in 2014 when he was borderline elite and it was great, but i havent seen "that guy" since. I think Im gonna add Tyler White when Gattis hits the DL for my UTL

[mjl]

That seems fine. With JDM, Franco, Davis, Arenado, and Alvarez, home runs should be the least of your concerns.

[chancellor]

Agree that's a great deal for you, and I normally don't like trading hitting for pitching. But that's a monster upgrade at SP and you dealt from depth.
