Selling high on Volquez and Guerrero
Posted on 5/28/15 at 3:17 pm

I'm first in my H2H 14-team dynasty league in points. Currently I'm overloaded with talent at basically every offensive position, but particularly middle-infield (Altuve, Wong, Peralta, Guerrero) I also have Rendon coming off the DL shortly, which means I will need to make space that I don't currently have.
My pitching staff has also been pretty solid, but I'm looking to improve some of my guys at the bottom of my rotation who have exceeded expectations. (My staff: Kershaw, Arrieta, Lynn, Hammel, Syndergaard, Haren, Volquez).
With Uribe getting traded and Guerrero hitting homers in 3 of his past 4 games, I personally don't think his value is getting much higher. Volquez is a guy who I proudly added before the season when he was less than 1% owned... I think he's solid but risky... and at this point I don't think his value can possibly get much higher.
What pitcher could I package the two for and realistically get? Off the top of my head I was thinking Tyson Ross or one of the Indians' pitchers: Carlos Carrasco, Danny Salazar, or Trevor Bauer.
thx

You want to trade Alex Guerrero and Edison Volquez for Ross, Carrasco, Salazar, or Bauer?
If you can do it, by all means, go for it.
No way I would trade one of those guys to you for that package though.

right. Looking for suggestions on a pitcher I can realistically get that would be a definite improvement over volquez. Is selling high really even a thing? does anyone ever believe in a player who is having a good season?
Guerrero has 9 homers in like 90 at bats and 2nd base isn't the deepest position in the world. He's about to start getting more consistent PT w/ Uribe gone. Volquez has 4 wins, 2.77 era, 1.07 whip, and respectable K's.
They are pretty good players. I mean, I don't want to just give them up for shite that has no value. I want someone who is definitely better than Volquez, but isn't necessarily in that top 20 pitcher category. Looking at random rankings online, Volquez seems to be ranked 50-60th best pitcher. Salazar: 10-30, Carrasco: 10-15, Bauer: 40-50, Ross: 25-35.
If I can't get something good, then I mean... I'll keep Volquez and Guerrero. I think they are pretty good.

Volquez is a hard sell because he is not sexy in a dynasty league. He probably has more value to you, since I think you get a point for an IP.

Yeah it's a very convoluted scoring system and volquez was about the 40th best pitcher last year

Volquez will come down to earth and be a stream play only. Smart players would never ever trade for him.

I agree that he's not going to keep up these type numbers. That's why I'm trying to "sell high," which I'm starting to think is impossible to do because everyone is always massively skeptical of any player that isn't a bonafide fantasy stud.

I mean it's possible, but I definitely disagree. He was the 40th best pitcher in my scoring system last year. He's doing better than that this year and he's got an amazing defense and a huge ballpark behind him. Sometimes players just figure shite out a bit later in their careers.
Smart fantasy owners go after overlooked players like that. Dumb players only value big names.
I guess I won't trade him if other people don't value him for how good he's been for the past 1.5 years.
