20 Team Dynasty H2H 5x5

Nelson Cruz for Jim Henderson & Luke Gregorson

[Hammer]

While not knowing where Cruz lands makes this a little closer, I am moving a one category guy for Cruz pretty easily.

Henderson & Gregerson combined for in 2013:

IP: 126
W: 11
S: 32
Ks: 139
ERA: 2.71
WHIP: 1.06

yea so youre going to start Gregerson in a weekly league? I wouldn't use an MR in a weekly league although I understand how deep your is. As far as the ratios, youre lucky to get 8IP from those two guys. Not enough of an impact. I am taking Cruz. Understand though, I find MRs virtually worthless in H2H 5x5 leagues.

There are daily changes. Which allows for use of middle relievers when you have 8 spots to start. I would like to build a 12 man staff: 6 starters, 3 closers,and 3 middle relievers. Properly constructed my BP could be like adding 2 very solid starters. They could give me 360 innings, 24 wins, 360 k's under 3 era, and a sub 1.2 whip.

ok, that's different from my earlier assumption. In your league, MRs have more value. I still prefer Cruz though as quality MRs pop up out of the woodwork and I am skeptical about Henderson. I would wait to see where Cruz lands though before I trade for him.

Yeah agree about Cruz' destination

Its my first year in the league and only my second season doing dynasty. Cruz scares me in that whever he lands it will be a home park negative, add that to his age and PED suspension, Icd like to get something of value while I can.

[Hammer]

I understand you want to get what you can for him but youre selling him at his low point. I think his value gets better once his situation gets settled.
