want to get upton off the DL, but who do I drop? WHIR!

Postby midwestpatsfan » Thu Apr 16, 2009 10:23 am

I am having a tough time figuring out who to drop or what to do so I can get upton off the DL and into the lineup. it is a 10 team league and I hate just dropping somebody, but need to do something, what would you do. Here is my team

C-Benji Molina
1B-Berkman, Carlos Pena
2B-Ian Kinsler, Brandon Phillips
SS-Hanley Ramirez, Steven Drew
3B-Aubrey Huff
OF-Jason Bay, Carlos Quinton, B.J. Upton, Jacoby Ellsbury, Soriano

SP-Matt Cain, Clayton Kershaw, Matt Garza, Zach Grienke, JAmes Shields, Jake Peavy, Ervin Santana(DL)
RP-Broxton, Francisco Cordero, Brandon Marrow, Matt Lidstrom

I was thinking of dropping Ellsbury, but hate to give up a talent like that, even though he is really struggling right now.

You have enough talent to hold off dropping someone. I would look to make a deal. The weakest part of your lineup is at 3B so I would try and do a 2-1 trade, heck with the talent you have I would even do a 3-1. That would open up a spot to activate Upton and solidify your lineup even more.

thanks,
I am trying to get a trade going, but no one seems to want to deal. I guess it is a good thing to have too much talent. :-)

if you HAD to drop someone since you couldnt trade, i would say ellsbury. upton should replace most of the speed lost by ellsbury

I say drop Morrow, and still try to trade for a 3b (2 or 3 -1 deal, to open up space) to help with the logjam, it would be a shame to drop Ellsbury and get nothing in return

help with mine?
