I have been keeping him on the bench the last month hoping he will catch a fire. Is he injured or just slumping bad. Should I drop him for Kinsler?

He really has been struggling lately. His last few weeks worth of box scores have a ton of 0 fers in them. I still play him based on matchups, but he hasnt sniffed my starting lineup on their recent west coast trip.

Thankfully I scooped up Durham about a month ago, he's been a more than solid replacement. I'd probably make the move and add Kinsler

Oh ye of little faith...4 for 6 today, not tons of power, but 33 SB's and average up to .294. Don't complain.

I agree that you might be expecting too much from him. While he is slumping he still had 7 steals last month with 4 homers. I don't think he's undroppable by any means but I doubt Kinsler will be able to help you more than Roberts. If you have no use for steals (you aren't close to anyone else in the SB standings) then Kinsler is a lot closer in value.
