Im no fantasy expert nor am i a baseball expert, i just love both. But, can someone explain the thought behind trading a productive player for a player that is on the DL? Just curious.
Ramirez when health (and if his head on straight) is a potential impact player, particularly at 3B/SS, which is why I had him as a keeper despite being on the DL for the next couple months. My stand in at 3B, Alvarez, has been atrocious this season - 3 for 35 with 15 Ks and a grand total of -1 points this season. My other keepers, Hamilton and B.J. Upton, haven't exactly been lighting it up so I didn't think I could afford the luxury of a black hole at 3B for a player who may or may not come back strong, and is a bit of head case.
Othan is making a gamble here but had the luxury of depth at 3B (so it's not a huge gamble). Win-Win for both us, I think.
