Time to give up on OCab + Boni? WHIR

Postby twistedude » Fri Apr 24, 2009 3:53 pm

Hey fellas, Orlando Cabrera has been a black hole all season long, and I'm about ready to give up on him. Same with Bonafacio, who has really cooled. Only think is, it's a deep 14 team roto keeper league, and the waiver wire is pretty barren. My primary need is a speedy CF/RF eligible player, but could also use a decent MR to cut down my ratios a bit.

Here's who I'm considering - should I drop Ocab/Boni for any of these guys?

-Josh Anderson (Det - LF, CF) (been running wild lately)
-Lyle Overbay (Tor - 1B)
-Ryan Spillborghs (Col - LF,CF,RF)
-Chris Getz (CWS - 2B)
-Brett Gardner (NYY - LF,CF)
-Billy Butler (KC - 1B)
-Hideki Okajima (Bos - RP)

MY TEAM:

C - A.J. Pierzynski (CWS - C)
1B - Joey Votto (Cin - 1B)
2B - Dustin Pedroia (Bos - 2B)
3B - David Wright (NYM - 3B)
SS - Troy Tulowitzki (Col - SS)
IF - Carlos Delgado (NYM - 1B)
LF - Jason Bay (Bos - LF)
CF - Carlos Gomez (Min - CF)
RF - Jay Bruce (Cin - LF,CF,RF)
Util - Carlos Quentin (CWS - LF)
BN - Orlando Cabrera (Oak - SS)
BN - Emilio Bonifacio (Fla - 2B,3B)
BN - Kurt Suzuki (Oak - C)

SP - Jake Peavy (SD - SP)
SP - Chad Billingsley (LAD - SP)
SP - James Shields (TB - SP)
RP - Francisco Rodriguez (NYM - RP)
RP - Brandon Morrow (Sea - SP,RP)
RP - Justin Masterson (Bos - SP,RP)
P - Scott Kazmir (TB - SP)
P - Cliff Lee (Cle - SP)
P - Justin Verlander (Det - SP)
BN - Anibal Sanchez (Fla - SP)
BN - Chris Ray (Bal - RP)

i really like Anderson, i think Atlanta will miss him big time, i would definitely look to add him for either OCab or Boni my other possible pick is between Spilly or Okajima (if you really want the MR option)... both OCab and Boni IMO are cuttable...

help me out...

I picked up Getz, pretty hot right now...is batting lead off. Has a pretty good avg, runs and should start to run a bit more.

But i would drop O-Cab for sure. I like anderson but i don't think he is playing everyday right now. I would say Spilly is the most safest.

I'd go with the hot hand in Getz in this situation. And drop O-Cab, who is really a low-end SS at best.

Still trying to figure out what add/drops to do. I did just pick up Juan Cruz for Chris Ray.

Saltalamacchia is available - would you drop Curt Suzuki for him?
