I am looking to pickup 3B LaRoche as a backup to my starting 3B - M Cab and H Blalock... I have an overabundance of OF's and SP's (We start 4 OF and 4SP each week) which one should I drop? Or should I not drop any of the guys below and just go with 2 - 3B's?
C Crawford T Lincecum C Crisp C Carpenter J Bay J Johnson M Kemp M Cain D Murphy (R) J O. Sanchez (R) D Span (R) K Slowey (R) R Spilborghs (R) S Baker (R) C Maybin (R) U Jimenez (R) E Santana (I)
I would stick with only two 3B for now, but keep an eye on LaRoche or at least somebody if you plan on having Blalock as an everyday guy. I think he'll have a good year since he's DHing, but with him you never know when he will go down.
i don't think you need another 3B. if something happens, you can find someone at that time in my opinion. if you really have to pick someone to drop, i'd drop spilborghs.
Unless you are using one of them at 1st, or you use an IF position, I don't think you need another 3rd baseman. I agree you should keep an eye on LaRoche, but no need to pick him up at this point. Good luck, and thanks for the help with my post!
