Standard 5x5 midseason yahoo roto

Currently 2nd by 14.5 points (all pitching is 1st/2nd ... hitting is middle or worse)

Can I close a 15 point gap in the next 7 weeks?

I'd drop Upton for Ensberg. Upton will likely help only in SBs in his first year, and you have Crawford and Roberts, along with Abreu and Bay (to a lesser extent). Ensberg seems to be coming around and will help considerably more in HR/RBI than Upton.

Also, and this is a personal preference, I would not carry set up men in a league that does not count holds. They may help your ratios, but only a little given the number of innings they pitch and they won't rack up the K's. I'd drop either of them for Francis, who has very good ratios over the past month.

As for whether you can make up the points difference, I can't tell without seeing the totals to see if it's a tight 14 points or a yawning gap.
