Which backup SS?

Postby lbblue » Mon Apr 27, 2009 2:29 pm

I'm actually carrying two catchers right now, which is something I don't normally do but Ianetta was recently dropped and I thought he might be a good candidate to pick up and hold onto with the assumption that he'll turn it around soon (currently starting Y. Molina, who has been hitting very well).

However, JRoll is currently the only SS on my roster. I'm still holding onto the "he'll be fine" attitude, and he probably will, but I was thinking about picking up a backup SS and dropping Ianetta.

Here are the available SS on the wire that I would consider picking up:

Asdrubal Cabrera
Yunel Escobar
Christian Guzman
Ben Zobrist

Really I'm kind of looking at Guzman, who is set to come off the DL this week. Cabrera is also somewhat interesting as he's playing well right now and has been moved up to the #2 slot in Cleveland's lineup.

Pick up one of these guys or hang onto Ianetta?

Hang onto Ianetta. If you are in a shallow league such as an 8 teamer where there will be decent catchers always available then the decision may be different.
