I personally like having more P than hitters. So if your like that I would drop Schafer. I mean is he gonna play with BJ on your team? But if you want to keep the bats than Sonnas is good

I could play Schafer at Utility when Upton comes back. I guess that brings up the question would you rather have Schafer, Mark Reynolds, or Justin Upton. I read today that Justin may be headed to Triple-A soon if he doesn't start hitting.

I am a fan boy of J Up. So do not make me pick. If you really think Schafer will produce then keep him. Drop Sonnas.

I personally think Schaf will not outproduce your current Utils. I am assumin reynolds is there for power.

On another note; if you are HIGH on schafer..you might think about flippin one other OF for another pitcher.

Sonnanstine can be replaced easily.

You can use your new found OF depth to acquire something somewhere else.

drop Sonna

or if u like carrying extra pitchers rather than extra bats, then drop Schaffer (i think he topped out at like 10-15 HRs/yr in minors, so doubt the homers will continue) or J.Upton (seems he needs some AAA time to hone his talent)

me, i drop Sonna

fellow BJ owner in same predicament, hit back please

Sonnanstine is a perfectly fine fantasy pitcher, but I think you could replace him very easily.

In my annual group of redraft owners, there's a guy who treats our leagues like keepers. He drafts and overdrafts for Hughes, Maybin, Snider, and a whole host of prospects/youngsters every year, and while he often gets the breakouts (he had had Braun from day 1 of that season), he gets a lot of variable production, too, and rarely wins. I'd look for that guy in your league to sell Schafer high. If you get a price like he's going to good all year, you've increased your value and taken away your risk.
