It's just a stupid Yahoo league, but I need some help

Postby CadensDad » Sun Feb 22, 2009 1:21 pm

It's a 12 team roto basic 5x5 stats league. For some ungodly reason Ryan Zimmerman and Howie Kendrick {So is Delmon young) are now on waivers (I have the 5th priority) questions who should I drop for Zimmerman, Kendrick and Young or should I bother spending my 5th priority spot on them

C-Ianetta
1B- Cabrera
2B- K.Johnson
3B-Longoria
SS-Young
OF-Crawford
OF-Lee
OF-Rios
Util-Votto
BN-Thome
BN-Sheff
BN-Francouer
BN-Butler


SP-Beckett
SP-Lackey
RP-Valverde
RP-Marmol
P-Kazmir
P-KErshaw
P-Harang
BN-Percival

I figure Sheff for Zimmerman and Butler for Kendrick and I will just pass on Young, Anymore thoughts?

I agree with the other guy.

Drop Sheff for Zimm - Make this number #1 priority
Drop Francouer for Kendrick - Number two...

Francouer is garbage :-t

I guess that means you don't want to drop your homer pick. }:-)

I too would drop Frenchie to get any of those players. I would drop Sheffield also.
I wouldn't use my waiver priority . But if you're going to make a move , I wouldn't wait long once they clear waivers.

I hate to use a pretty good waiver number for a player that will be on my bench , and only be in the lineup on possibly Monday or Thursday.
I do like Zimmerman . He should be on a team. If there's a team that has a need for a 3B , and also has a starting pitcher you like I would consider using my waiver and trying for a trade. I think your team could use 1 more starting pitcher , rather than have 4 bench players on you offence. Although I like to have the extra batters the first 2-3 weeks of the year , since there's usually many ppd games .
I usually like to save my waiver , since some will dump players who get off to a slow start. Every year I'm able to scoop up dumped players who rebound .
I guess it wouldn't be a bad move to use it now, but I would only do it if I thought I could find a trade.

There are no stupid leagues! There are stupid owners, and occasionally stupid commissioners, but no stupid leagues. Shef for Zimmerman is a no brainer, and I would probably just hang on to Butler and see what he does this season. I might drop Frenchy for Young though.
