I really need some expert advice ASAP!

Postby tito24 » Fri May 01, 2009 2:09 pm

Hello.. thanks for droping by.

I have a problem and need a solution. I can use 4 of these guys because I use 1 for utility.
My outfielders are:

Tori Hunter - vs. Pettite 1 for 6 (The 1 hit is a 3 run shot)
Andre Ethier - vs. Jake Peavy (Hasnt been great)
Carlos Quentin - vs. Scott Feldman (??)
Jason Bay vs. Andy Sonnanstine
Alfonso Soriano - vs. Graham Taylor (??)

Which player should I bench??

I am sitting Ethier tonite. Although Peavy has been roughed up in his last couple starts Ethier doesn't have good numbers against him lifetime. He is batting 5-32 which is .156. Also his 5 hits have all been singles not one extra base hit. So even thougth Ethier is hot I still got to play the matchup.

Who should it be Ethier or Hunter??

Im leaning towards Hunter because Ether is facing a weak pitcher.

What do you mean Ethier is facing a weak pitcher?

He is 5-32 with 10 K's lifetime against Peavy.

Would you have swisher replace any of these guys tomorrow??

I cant put him at first because I have Adrian Gonzalez vs. Randy Wolf

Should I bench one of my outfielders?

T. Hunter - vs. CC Sabathia
C. Quentin - vs. Brandon McCarthy
A. Soriano - vs. Anibal Sanchez
J. Bay - vs. Jeff Niemann (??)
A. Ethier - vs. Chris Young

Thanks
