    Can't decide

    This is my Lineup at the moment:

    Code:
    Nationals         AVG  HR RBI  OBP
    2B Chone Figgins  .270  2  0  .282
    SS Jack Wilson    .291 12 19  .320
    RF Vlad Guerrero  .324  7 22  .349
    1B Todd Helton    .266  8 24  .336
    3B David Wright   .320  6 20  .336
    LF Brad Wilkerson .273  3 14  .295
    CF Torii Hunter   .248  2 11  .267
    C Brian Schneider .353  5 16  .366
    I can't decide wether to make a certain trade.

    JD Drew & Brain Roberts for Torii Hunter & Brad Wilkerson.

    Code:
    Red Sox
    CF JD Drew       .359 10 30 .437
    2B Brian Roberts .300  4  9 .378
    Almost 2 months into the season and both Hunter and Wilkerson are slumping pretty bad. Half of Wilkersons RBI's and 2 of his HR's came in one game a month back. And Torii barely hits at all with anyone on base. Figgins has been dissapointing in the lead off spot but besides Wilkerson I dont really have anyone else that fits.

    If I make the trade then Figgins goes to the bench and Roberts takes the leadoff spot and I start either Jason Kubel, who has hit great (.368 2 7 .375) since I brought him up to play everyother game, or Eric Byrnes in left

    Money is'nt a problem since its just about a wash. I already tried to make the trade so I know it will work. I just can't decide wether to stick it out a while longer or make the trade now. I'm not that desperate since my team is 31-12 (4 games infront of ATL & NYM) but this would seem to solve my problems.

      Pull the trigger as quick as possible. Move Figgins to the outfield, Roberts in at second, and you're set.

            Trying to make me feel even more guilty? :wink:

            Yeah, I agree. That was why I was kinda hesitant. All the moves I've made have been "Legit" with fair trades and budgets on as well as this one and it does seem like it'd fit my needs so why not.

              I would do it. Move Figgins to the outfield and start Roberts at 2nd just like what Daddee said.

                I third the idea of moving Figgins to the OF and putting Roberts at 2nd. Both Figgins and Roberts are excellent players to have on your team, and both of them are speed demons. Figgins is good almost anywhere, especially in the Outfield, so why not? Jason Kubel hitting well every other game sounds to me kindof the way Dave Hansen has been playing for my team in pinch hit situations, with an over .400 average. Kubel has never hit very well for me, so I'm hesitant to trust him with an every day position unless my hands are just so tied. Figgins over Kubel, trade the slump for the bump and dump the chumps.

                  Heh, well good thing I made the trade because 3 games later Helton gets hurt and is out for 25 days.
