In a 20 team H2H with holds and OPS, we keep 22 and I need to drop 5.

Travis Buck (Oak - LF,RF)
Billy Butler (KC - 1B,LF)
Orlando Cabrera (CWS - SS)
Alexi Casilla (Min - 2B)
Shin-Soo Choo (Cle - LF,RF)
Jack Cust (Oak - LF,RF)
J.D. Drew (Bos - RF) 22%
Matt Kemp (LAD - CF,RF)
Fred Lewis (SF - LF,CF,RF)
Jed Lowrie (Bos - 3B,SS)
Mike Napoli (LAA - C) 20%
Joey Votto (Cin - 1B,LF)
Rickie Weeks (Mil - 2B)
Randy Winn (SF - LF,CF,RF)

Jose Arredondo (LAA - RP)
Heath Bell (SD - RP)
Clay Buchholz (Bos - SP)
Mark Buehrle (CWS - SP)
Yovani Gallardo (Mil - SP)
Jensen Lewis (Cle - RP)
Scott Lewis (Cle - SP) 3%
Pedro Martínez (NYM - SP)
Anthony Reyes (Cle - SP,RP)
Andy Sonnanstine (TB - SP)
Joakim Soria (KC - RP) 85%
Billy Wagner (NYM - RP)
Dan Wheeler (TB - RP)

Billy Wagner is the obvious #1 because he's not playing this year.
Travis Buck, Jensen Lewis, Alexi Casilla, Scott Lewis and Anthony Reyes are all also on the block.

Thanks in advance. ;-D

I think you have it narrowed down to the right 6 candidates. To me, you either keep Reyes or Casilla, depending on whether you want to keep a hitter or pitcher. I'd probably lean more towards Reyes because Casilla, IMO, will never be able to consistently keep an OPS above .700.

Also, Casilla only got 9 SB opportunities from 380-odd at bats, so unless he gets a definite, legit green light he's not worth a lot. ;-D

Thanks Fade (clicks appropriate helpful boxes) ;-D

I agree with your assessment, dropping:
Wagner, Lewii, Buck and Casilla. Would keep Reyes cause if he's healthy he's got upside and Cleveland should put runs on the board.

Just bumping this for more input.
Sending in my keepers in a couple of hours ;-D

those 6 are definitely the candidates, i think reyes has the most upside of that group should he find his way into the rotation.

I would probably hold onto Reyes too, and I have pretty much given up on him. Realistically it probably won't matter who you end up keeping from that group of 6.
