Fantasy Baseball trade-- Kendrick for Hellickson?
I wouldn't trade a good starting pitcher for a good batter since a pitcher is more useful. A position player takes up a slot for 5 to 7 days a week, and you already have doubles in most of the positions covered. Traditionally, leagues have 2 SPs, 2 RPs, & 3Ps. A starter only pitches every fifth day, so having extra SPs gives you more players activated on average. Currently, your lineup in a traditional league would have 4 or 6 position players on the bench depending on whether it is 1 or 2 Utils. By starting your third RP in a P spot, you have 4 SPs in the lineup with 3 SPs on the bench. Those 3 SPs can be switched with the other 4 SPs to increase your usage, which will allow you a better chance for Ws and Ks. Also, it will allow you to average out your ERA and WHIP if there is a bad outing. Simply put, I think you would be weakening your team over the long run.
