Drop Dukes already? And for whom? WHIR! :)

[Millhouse]

10-team 5x5 mixed keeper.

roster:
c - shoppach
1b - howard
2B - aviles
ss - rollins
3b - reynolds
ci - morneau
mi - j.lopez
of - mclouth, ellsbury, dye, miledge, burrell
util - maybin
bench - dukes
sp's - webb, liriano, billingsley, burnett, nolasco
rp's - broxton, capps, francisco, hanrahan, arredondo, corpas

Kearns is no iron man, so Dukes could still see 450 ABs, but Coco Crisp is on our waiver wire and could give owners a steady if unspectacular .280-10-65-75-28 line....will get consistent ABs and the SBs should be nice. Not sure I wan wait on the "what if" of a Dukes emergence if he's going to be a part-timer.

Other guys avail:

Andrus - steals will be nice, but could struggle...good keeper though
Helton - obviously not a keeper, but mashing in ST
Konerko - ditto
Kotchman - is this the year he adds power to his avg?
Lind - can't hit lefties very well, suspect power, nice AVG?

So, A) do I drop Dukes and B) if so, for whom? Leave a link, WHIR.

keep Dukes. He might not be starting right away, but he will be.

Hang on to Dukes. If I made any moves it would be to drop Arredondo/Corpas for Konerko.

I have the same problm. I drafted Dukes in my 12 team keeper. I got the same answers. Lind had five rbi ,hr and 3-3 the last I know. Yeah I know its only one game. But I almost put in one of my two pickups pre allstar break for Lind last night.

I like Dukes as a sleeper....but I like Coco Crisp more. Crisp will be very solid this season. I would grab him.

sleeper in what way? solid? what's your forecast on stats?

I dropped him, but I'm in a smaller league. Hang on to him (for now) if you can afford to burn a roster spot.

If you do decide to drop him, go for either Kotchman or Konerko as replacements.

I'd drop Corpas for him.

WAY too much love for Dukes here. I think he's barely rosterable in a 10-team league to begin with, and there's no reason to have him on your team in the current situation where he's not playing.

He's overrated even before the benching....Manny Acta is a smart manager, there's a good reason Dukes isn't playing.
