Drop Aaron Hill for Rickie Weeks? WHIR

Postby Leiter Fan » Sun Apr 05, 2009 3:43 pm

I play in a 6x6, H 2 H daily transaction keeper league that counts OPS and holds. I was wondering if dropping Aaron Hill (who I think will have a bouncebak season this year) for Rickie Weeks (who has had tons of unrealized potential for years) is an upgrade for me. Any thoughts? As always, I'll answer any of yours in return - just post a link.

Here is my current roster:

C: Geovany Soto (C)
1B: Albert Pujols (1B)
2B: Aaron Hill (2B)
3B: Ryan Zimmerman (3B)
SS: Khalil Greene (SS)
LF: Carlos Lee (LF)
CF: Coco Crisp (CF)
RF: Bobby Abreu (RF)
Util: Jim Thome (UTIL)
Bench: Felipe Lopez (2B, 3B, SS, LF)
Ichiro Suzuki (CF, RF)

SP: Tim Lincecum, Francisco Liriano, Chad Billingsley, Chris Carpenter, Erik Bedard, Max Scherzer, John Lannan
RP: Mariano Rivera, Matt Capps, Manuel Corpas, Chris Ray
DL: John Smoltz, Kelvim Escobar

Thanks, guys!

Yep I would. You can always drop a guy like Lannan if you want to keep both Hill and Weeks and have the lower performer ride the pine.

I would take the chance on Weeks. You have nothing to lose. Hill will be solid but nothing spectacular and Weeks has a higher ceiling. Go with Weeks and like the other poster said you could always drop someone like Lannan and keep both Second basemen.

please help
