To handcuff, or not to handcuff (BJ Ryan)

[go9ers]

I drafted BJ Ryan and I am not sure if I should handcuff him or stay put. I have Valverde and Morrow...but Downs is on the ww. Should I pick up Downs, and if so, who should I drop?

C: Suzuki
1B: Howard
2B: Kinsler
SS: Drew
3B: Atkins
IF: Pena
OF: Sizemore
OF: Bay
OF: Dunn
UT: Bruce

SP: Haren
SP: Lackey
SP: Vazquez
SP: Grienke
RP: Valverde
RP: BJ Ryan

B: Brett Myers
B: B. Morrow
B: Arroyo
B: Floyd

B: Chris B. Young
B: Jack Cust
B: Cameron Maybin
B: Kelly Johnson

I'd handcuff Ryan immediately and drop Cust because you have 5 outfielders essentially competing for 2 spots where they could get time because Sizemore and Bay will never be worth sitting.

[joecahill]

Agreed...handcuff with Downs at Cust's expense.

Unless you use OBP or OPS instead of batting average or reward walks, Cust is expendable here.

Cust and Arroyo are expendable, IMO. I'm not a fan of either.

Thanks for the help so far guys! I just wanted to see if I should still go with Downs or any of the following ww guys:

Parra
Wellemeyer
Wheeler
Sherill
Motte
Rodney
Percival

At this point, I'd move both Cust and Arroyo for Motte and Percy.
