    Default Upgrade Batting

    I recently acquired Greinke and Estrada and now have a TON of pitchers on my roster. Question is, how can i turn some of them into productive batters in a trade?

    Who should i be trying to move? Ive been offering Tillman/Tanaka/Maeda/Hill/Terehan (and sometimes Archer) in a number of deals. Trying to do a 2 for 1 or even 3 for 2 for a legitimate batter. Should i be moving these guys? or maybe one of Salazar/Greinke to make a big splash?

    With all of the deals I've made, my batting has taken a dip, while I now have accumulated way too many pitchers to start haha.

    I would be dropping Sano and Tillman. In an 8 team league there has to be some major talent on the wire that is outproducing those guys.

    I was thinking about dropping Sano... But Tillman has 14 Wins, 108 SO this year? Thats pretty damn good in my books. Definitely could use him as trade bait. What i want is to pair 2 pitchers and maybe even a bat to acquire a big bat. Or at least a guy in the 20-60 rankings.

    In a shallow league like this, if you're pulling off a 2 for 1, then the two have to be players close to the one you're getting, and not be easily replaceable on the wire. Probably a lot of your SP are. If you want a big bat, you're going to have to deal one of those good SP.

    I offered a guy Tillman/Maeda/Tulo for Edwin/Pence. But i do think its an overpayment.

    However, i do think Tillman/Maeda/Tanaka/Hill/Archer/Terehan all share very similar value and no matter what ill be sitting 3 of them on my bench once Estrada and Greinke come back.. So i don't really care if he's getting both of those guys. I just don't know about Pence- sort of a bandaid

    Pence really does nothing for you. I would swap him out for another piece. In general that's what you will have to do though.
