When is Alex Sanchez coming back, and worth a spot?

[icepak]

I'm in a 10 team 30 player league, standard 5x5, so it's deep.
I could use a bit more steals, do you guys think when he comes back, he'll bat leadoff and get 30+ steals?

sanchez is supposed to return by the middle of this week. if sanchez immediately jumps back into the starting line-up, he's a great play for average, runs and steals. the question is, with the recent success of gathright, why roll with sanchez?

i have both, so i don't really care, but if i were a devil rays fan, i'd want to see the long-term solution begin sooner than later.

so it's a toss up on who's the starter now that gathwright has been doing pretty good?

DRays general manager today said that there is a good chance that Gathright will be staying with the big club.

So they have a decision to make this week -- Gathright or Sanchez. They are pretty similar players from a Fantasy perspective. But Gathright can at least catch the ball. My guess is that if they keep Gathright they will trade or cut Sanchez. Gathright is the future. Sanchez is a placeholder.

I have Sanchez and I'm getting ready to cut him to pick up Gathright. I've got my finger on the button waiting for the final word.

God I hope the Rays make at least one good decision this month, and that's to cut Sanchez and keep Gathright playing....

I'm praying ... seriously ....

Cause history repeats itself?

Considering how lousy a big leaguer Sanchez is, not only does it make sense for TB to dump him, it would be a PR masterstroke. Even though we all realize no quality guy will ever be shown the door for testing positive, they could spin this beautifully.
