Players who have been cancers to your fantasy teams

[Another Blown Save]

Andruw Jones

He went 5/51 (.098 AVG) with 4 Rs, 2 RBIs and ZERO HR/SB for my team before he hit the waiver

No-one really for me. If a player is bad enough, you just cut them.
Whatever you have spent on them is a sunk cost.

I agree, I cut Hafner and Konerko a long time ago when everyone was saying not to.

Chris Young. I was okay with the idea of him hurting my ave, but I never expected to see him look so pathetic. He and my other tumor Rios have decimated my offense

Really? Chris Young hasn't been that bad this year, at least not any worse than projections, if not better.

.238 avg, 13 HRs, 39 RBis, 47 Runs, and 4 steals. I was expecting about 10 or so more steals, but the other numbers are all pretty decent, on pace for about 90 RBIs, over 100 Runs, and 28 ding dongs?

I don't know what the main-line projection for him was, but one I just found quickly at fantasysportscentral had him ranked as the 20th OFer with numbers of... .251 AVG, 31 HRs, 76 RBIs, 89 Runs, and 28 SBs. The only number that he's really behind on is the stolen bases.

I definitely wouldn't call him a "cancer".

Joe Blanton. Started out the season just having bad luck with wins but now he is just sucking.
Ubaldo Jimenez. Was high on him and took him on all my teams. Fail.

I am doing okay everywhere else, though I have Adam LaRoche starting on a couple teams. Hoping he has another hot second half.

Roy Oswalt and M. Cain for me. I almost cut both lose last week, but they both went out and produced solid:

Oswalt: 7 IP, ER, 10K
Cain: 7 IP, 3 ER, BB, 11K
(I'm in a K/9 league, so this was gold)

Sad thing was last week a guy offered me a trade that involved M.Cain. I countered offered and gave up T.Hudson instead. I'm still believing that Cain and Oswalt will come around. Plus in a k/9 league, Hudson was killing me every week.

I don't really start either right now, They have both been riding my bench since week 5 or so. My pitching is deep enough w/out them that I'm constantly winning the pitching cats w/out them:

SP: Kazmir, Volquez, Dice-K, Zambrano, Halladay, Duchscherer, Oswalt, Cain, Pedro, Lester
RP: Sherrill, Mike González
DL: Carmona

If I had Hafner on one of my teams, I would have cut him also if I needed the DL slot for someone who doesn't look completely finished. He's been a FA in one of my leagues for ages now.

Aarong Harang and A.J. Burnett are killing me. Problem with drafting guys who you think are supposed to good and then watching them suck is that it's hard to drop them and just move on.

[AquaMan2342]

Everyone is scaring me. I own Harang, Burnett, Cain and Oswalt in one league. What are the odds of all four turning it around?

well, I'm not sure about Burnett, but I'd say Cain and Harang are VERY safe bets, and Oswalt is a strong possibility.

V-Mart
JJ Hardy
Kuroda (started him everytime except when he pitched the complete game shut out with 11k)
Beltre (his HR's are nice but his overall production has sucked)
Ibanez (started nice then his average dropped to the .260's)

I still have all these guys except JJ Hardy.
