Drop LaPorta for Pierre?

Postby sigriffey » Tue May 12, 2009 2:25 am

My team has way too many prospects who have yet to make an impact. Should I drop LaPorta and grab Pierre? My SBs have been way down, with only 2 last week...

12 Team H2H league, with 6 Keepers -- Griffey is not droppable for various reasons...

stat categories: R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG -- IP, W, L, CG, ER, ERA, K, SV, WHIP

My Team:

C Napoli
1B Pujols
2B Pedroia
SS Rollins
3B Cabrera
OF Sizemore
OF Soriano
OF Granderson
UT Damon
UT Bradley
UT LaPorta
B Wieters, Griffey


SP Sabathia, Billingsley, Liriano, Lilly, Slowey, S.Baker, Kershaw, (T.Hanson)
RP Broxton, Street, Marmol
DL: K.Escobar, R.Romero

Man I wouldn't Laporta could be pretty good, but if you have a need I could understand it. Is there anyone other than Pierre (not a huge fan)?

Are there any restrictions on who can be kept? If not, I don't see you keeping LaPorta anyway and therefore think you should go ahead and do it.
Just mindin' my own bidniz...

No way. You DO NOT drop a player like LaPorta in a 12 team keeper league for Pierre. You've got Pedrioa, Rollins, Sizemore, Granderson, and Damon, who will each steal 20+ bases. Don't chase SB's with a lineup like that. Keep LaPorta and see what happens over the next few weeks in Cleveland. Even if he doesn't make a huge splash he could be some nice trade bait later on. It's a H2H league and he's a rookie. You've got to give him more slack than this.

BTW, I hope you're keeping Griffey for (a lot) more than homerism, that Fat Head of him in your bedroom and your user name.

Good luck.

Gotta remember that Pierre is *probably* a short-term asset. I'd hang on to LaPorta with that lineup.

Help?
