Aaron Hill! And I agree with dropping Jones for Bruce. Aaron Hill is off to a great start and was making real career strides before the concussion issue last year. I think he's back on track. Reds' bias with Bruce, but what's Jones doing for anyone?

Thanks for the Hawpe/Capps help.

thx for the help w/ mine.
even though he's looked horrible so far, i'd consider picking up verlander.
you're pretty deep at sp, and assuming he turns it around you'll have some good trade bait later in the season.
good luck!

Bruce is worth more....likely so is hill or hunter.
Might aswell stash romero while your at it....can't hurt.

I don't like the idea of giving up on Davis so early, but in such a shallow league, it's ok. I like Bruce, Hill, and taking a chance on Verlander.

Grab Bruce and Hill. Although i might be just a tad more patient with Davis, but that's ,my opinion.

If that's Ad. Jones I would keep him over Bruce. If An. Jones, I'd make the switch.
I'd hang onto Davis right now. The whole Ranger offense hasn't done much yet to this point. Check out Hamilton's stats. As long as he's sitting on your bench right now and not starting, I'd give him until mid-May to show signs of turning it around. He's got 30 HR potential. You can't give up on that this quickly.

Definitely do not drop Davis. You can afford to ride out his slump keeping him on your bench...

H2H means you have to have guys who can put up big numbers in a week and Davis is the best guy out there from the options you have.

Now with A. Jones that depends if your talking about Adam or Andruw. If Andruw then no doubt drop and pickup either Hill or Bruce, but if it's Adam I'm not sure what the problem is as he's put up outstanding numbers thus far.
