Justin Upton and Ryan Theriot are FAs in my 10 team H2H keeper league. We keep 8 this year, and next year we add a CI, a MI, another OF and UTIL, another P spot and a couple extra BN spots. The question is...who can I afford to drop?
Scoring: 6x6 with HLDs and OPS added C: Chris Iannetta 1B: Joey Votto 2B: Rickie Weeks 3B: Mark Teahen SS: Jimmy Rollins OF (3): Ryan Braun, Carlos Lee, Nick Markakis UTIL: Matt Kemp BN: Chris Davis, Mark DeRosa DL: Aramis Ramirez, Ryan Doumit
SP (3): Zack Greinke, James Shields, Dan Meyer (SP/RP for HLDs) RP (2): Jonathan Broxton, Francisco Cordero P (2): Heath Bell, Rafael Soriano BN: Yovani Gallardo, Francisco Liriano, Adam Wainwright
The choice on the surface is Teahen, but he has been filling in better at 3B than Davis has, due to a much better AVG. Will Davis be fine until ARam returns, or will I have to keep Teahen? Theriot would fill in admirably for Rollins until Jimmy heats up, if he does (looking to trade him). What to do? Upton in a keeper is tasty, not to mention his incredible hot streak...
DeRosa or Teahen are the drops here, but frankly I don't see Upton making your 8-player cut. Are you really going to keep him over, say, Greinke, Gallardo, Shields, Liriano, Rollins, Braun, Carlos Lee, Markakis, Kemp, Aramis, and then your weaker potential keepers, votto, doumit, and chris davis? I think moving on with Braun, Rollins, Carlos Lee, Markakis, Kemp, Aramis, Greinke and Gallardo would be beastly. Can't see where Justin Upton breaks that list at all.
I would cut Meyer for right now and punt holds for now. You can get them later. This will buy you some time to see how your team is going to do and it will allow you time to trade for a 3b.
Try doing a 2 for 1 and picking up a better MRP than Meyer.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!
Wouldn't drop Davis at all...reached way too much for him in the draft (big mistake). It's between Teahen, DeRosa and maybe Meyer, although my HLDs are limited by the fact that they have to be SP,RP eligible due to my glut of CL; so Meyer is my best choice.
Getting Upton would at least allow me to dangle an OF with Rollins and maybe get Hanley+, who's owner already nearly agreed to Rollins/Doumit for Hanley before the injury and has expressed interest in my OF.
I like DeRosa's multi eligibility, and I suppose I could flip flop DeRosa and Davis based on the hot hand until Aramis returns. I think Teahen gets the axe. What about Theriot? Is he worth it, or wait until Rollins comes around?
Drop Teahan now and get Upton before it's too late!!!! Davis will work things out and get things going. Plus if Upton is out there on the FA wire, then I'm sure there are other decent 3B options on your wire as well.
