This is my first post and was hoping to get some insight into what I can do to improve my team. I'm in Yahoo Roto 5X5 league with 4 other friends who are also fairly new to baseball pools, we usually do hockey. The scoring is (R, RBI, HR, AVG, S & W, WHIP, ERA, K and Sv)
My team is:
C - J. Mauer
1B - Pujols
2B - Soriano
3B - Wright
SS - Reyes
OF - M. Ramirez
OF - Bay
OF - Sheffield
Util - Sexson
BN - Ensberg(3B)
BN - Giles(2B)
BN - Damon(OF)
BN - Sizemore(OF)
BN - Rollins(SS)
SP - Carpenter
SP - Willis
SP - Buehrle
RP - Chad Cordero
RP - Reitsma
P - F. Hernandez
P - Lackey
P - Sheets(DL)
I'm currently in 4th right now out of 5 due to lack of saves, strikeouts, HRs, and RBI as Manny is struggling.
I got Bay and Soriano through a trade for Kent and C. Lee and I picked up Lackey last week due to Sheets being on the DL. Now that Sheets' back, I need to drop someone, which brings to my second part of my post, who should I drop now? I'm thinking of dropping Damon or Giles, but since I'm a rookie at it, I might be totally off. Any help would be appreciated.
