Should I trade Guillen and Rasner for Tejada?

Question

I have a surplus of starting pitching and need runs in a standard 5x5 H2H league. Will Berkman continue his hot start and continue to drive in Tejada? That's my main worry.

Answer 1

If you mean Carlos Guillen, then no.  Miggy is having a great season (I own him).  However, Carlos Guillen is playing in a ridiculous lineup that WILL PRODUCE.  Not only that he is eligible for 1b, ss, and 3b.  His flexibility is the boot.

Answer 2

Yes.

Take it from an Astros fan.

Tejada himself is having a great season. He is the best shortstop stats-wise this year. He hits for power, average. and drives in runs with Matsui and Pence table setting.

Berkman is very consistent he always has more than 100 RBI

and about 30-45 HRS a year. so at least 30% of his RBI's have Tejada on base.

plus this year he is hot.

Even if Lance can't bring in Tejada you have Carlos Lee who is having an All-Star season in the shadow of Lance and Miggy. to bring him in.

Plus Guillen and Rasner are nothing compared to what Miguel Tejada can give you.
