Looking at moving Polanco 12 for Carlos Pena 17
PRO
- I have a FIFTEEN-pt lead on 3rd place in AVG (2nd in a .279 to .277 to .262 race)
- I am 10th in HR, 10 more HR would give me 3 more pts, plus room to move up in RBI/R.
- Polanco is hitting .219 since April. Still could be a good keeper when healthy, but all he gives you is (a lot of) AVG and that's the one thing I don't need.
- Pena .304 xBA in last 31 days, with 10 HR and a .245 real AVG that wouldn't hurt me at all
CON
- I'm 20 pts out, and Polanco could be a keeper
- if Pena gets dealt to AL, I get 17 FAAB $$ (we start with $50), and that alone only gets me to 2nd at the moment (I may lose $25 K-Rod as well). Maybe I can trade in the Pena $$ for what's behind the door and get a car - or maybe I get a goat.
I'm leaning in favor, only in these special circumstances of Pena's AVG not scaring me, his HR are a big help, and Polanco is hurting, old, and not useful for me this year.
Have I convinced anyone?
