May Day NL Trade!

Here’s the deal: 

Chris Liss gets:
Ike Davis NYM from Phil Hertz

Phil Hertz gets:
Todd Helton Col from Chris Liss

Jeff Samardzija ChC from Chris Liss

Why?

Classic deal. Hertz has 12 points in runs, 11 in HR and 12 in RBI. Liss has 7 in Wins, 10 in ERA, 10 in WHIP and 12 in Strikeouts.

Reality?

Hertz’s strength in power has been fueled by surprising power from Nick Hundley and Dexter Fowler, while Ike Davis has underproduced. He runs the risk of not having the bats to sustain his leads as the season goes on. On the other hand, his underpowered pitching staff needed starting help, and nothing helps that more than adding a quality starter early in the season. The cost? A player highly coveted on auction day.

Liss has apparently improved his strong staff by adding Tony Cingrani and Jose Fernandez through waivers, allowing him to deal the $14 Samardzjia for the $25 Ike Davis. Helton will even things up some when he comes off the DL, depending on how much he’s able to play.

 

 

April 22, 2012 Tout Wars Transactions!

When you get to the onRoto.com page for your league, look in the League Pages | Transaction Logs | View Bid-meister Results for all the FAABs, claims and releases for each league.

Four Leagues, Mastersball.com’s Transaction Analysis for All of Them

Served piping hot, right here.

Mastersball.com’s Perry Van Hook shadow FAABS the NL claims this week.

Tout NLer Todd Zola and Mastersball stable mate points out in the comments that with a four slot reserve list (plus unlimited DL slots), adding random one-week pickups like Lalli often doesn’t make sense the way it might if you could stash a more talented player away.

But we encourage Perry to continue Shadow FAABing the Touts, and I’m going to offer up some Shadow Faabs for the mixed leagues going forward. It’s a fun idea.
