I've been stashing Dee Gordon for about a month since someone dropped him in my 10-team Yahoo H2H league with standard categories. I'm trying to gauge his value on the trade market for when he comes back and have been targeting SPs based on my team's needs. I'd prefer to do a 1-for-1 deal since I'm in a bit of a roster crunch as it is, and I'd admit that I discount Gordon's value somewhat in a H2H league because he's so dependent on the independent SB category (i.e., SBs generally don't relate to the other 4 hitting categories, other than maybe R).
Looking through the SPs out there, it seems like there are a couple of general tiers among the better pitchers (no particularly order within tiers):
1st Tier: Kershaw, Bumgarner, Scherzer, Fernandez, Strasburg, Arrieta, Syndergaard, Sale
2nd Tier: Salazar, Kluber, Carrasco, Lester, DeGrom, Cueto, Price, Greinke, Hamels, Cole
3rd Tier: Carlos Martinez, Pomeranz, Hill, Estrada, bunch of others
I realize I'm not getting anyone from Tier 1 and I'm not particularly interested in Tier 3 for various reasons on each guy (injuries, track record, flukiness, etc.), so I've been focused on Tier 2 guys.
Who of that group do you think I could get for Gordon straight up? Put another way, if you were the SP owner, which Tier 2 SPs would you consider giving up for Gordon straight up?
If you owned Gordon, which of those Tier 2 guys would you be willing to give him up for?
(I already own Kluber, Carrasco and Cole, so you can take those guys out of it)
Thanks
