Shop Carlos Quentin??

Question

Below is my keeper team that I have really worked hard on. 10 team league. I think this year I have a shot at the championship. I've noticed that Quentin has slowed a little. Should I try to market him for a better pitcher....SS etc? What do you think are my weaknesses? I was hit hard with injuries early and lost my 1st five games so i am only in 5th. Think this team can get into the Playoffs?

C- Soto

1B- A Gonzalez

2B- B Philips- (got him for Reynolds and Pence)

3B- ARod

SS- Hardy, O Cabrera

OF- Sizemore

OF-Quentin

OF- Granderson- Traded for him when he was injured, cheap

BN- Church, Dejesus, Hairston, DeRosa

SP- Lackey, Verlander, Haren-(got him for Reynolds and Pence), Danks

RP- Cordero, Hoffman, Sherill, Gregg

Answer 1

I would shop Carlos, he has cooled off his hot streak. Somebody like Rich Harden, who now headed to the Cubs, would be a great addition, if you could get him. Maybe, Quentin and John Lackey because Lackey hasn't been that great this year at all. Harden is one win down but has about 31 more K's.

John Lackey:

74.2- Innings Pitched

6- Wins

0- Saves

61- K's

1.93- ERA

0.94- WHIP

Rich Harden:

77.0- Innings Pitched

5- Wins

0- Saves

92- K's

2.34- ERA

1.14- WHIP

Answer 2

If you can get a legit SS out of it, than yes, but Quentin is a great talent and will not trail off heavily. Do not dispose of him lightly.

Answer 3

I only would shop him for a top shortstop and maybe make a larger deal out of it because Quentin will leave a big hole in your lineup and your replacement I think will hurt you than O Cabrera at short. Who is not spectacular but still is solid SS.  Your Starting piching looks pretty good and Quinten is still better than most relievers that would be available and your Relief pitching is still good.

Good Luck
