Which COL INF do I drop: Barmes, Stewart, or Atkins? WHIR!

Postby UGADawgGuy » Fri Apr 17, 2009 9:58 pm

All right, so I've got all these Rockies infielders (plus Tulowitzki) on my team, which is a little crazy -- especially since I really don't have any allegiance to Colorado. Which one (or two?) of them should I drop, and why?

I need to keep one of these guys as my starting 3B. Barmes, though, is also currently my only backup SS in a league with Tampa's Jason Bartlett and Texas' Elvis Andrus as the only viable options on the FA market.

I'm in a 12-team, 5x5, head-to-head, mixed Yahoo! league, and I appear to be doing just fine with regard to HR and RBIs. My BA and Runs, though, could use a boost. I can give you my whole roster if necessary, but I thought I'd quickly pose this question in the hope of getting some sage advice from someone more familiar with the Rockies.

As always, will help in return, if you provide a link! :-D

Easy...Barmes. Atkins is huge and sooner or later Colorado will realize they need to play Stewart more. Even with part-time play I'd rather have Stewart than Barmes.

Should I drop just Barmes, or do you think Stewart warrants a drop, too? Given that I'm losing my only backup SS if I drop Barmes, I'm inclined to drop them both and pick up Bartlett and a pitcher (another area of serious need for me).

Will respond to your post momentarily...

for now drop barmes...hold onto stewart for a bit if you can, at the least he gets hot and you can trade him...at worst you hold onto him, he doesnt move much, and you drop him in the near future...keep atkins for sure, hes a monster.
