Who to drop to get Hamilton off the DL - WHIR!

Postby ezgoin92 » Sat May 16, 2009 7:44 pm

Hamilton has been playing well since coming off the DL - I need to cut someone to clear room on my roster for him - so who needs to go?

I feel like I have a few options, but I'm not sure which way to go.
1) Drop Blaylock - but his power has been pretty good - though he's very hit or miss
2) Drop one of my horrible closers. Clearly, this is my weakest position; but since it's head-to-head I am trying to scrounge up whatever saves I can from these scrubs.

Here's my roster - 12-Team H2H - with 5X5 Scoring:

C Mike Napoli (LAA - C)
1B Joey Votto (Cin - 1B)
2B Chase Utley (Phi - 2B)
3B Álex Rodríguez (NYY - 3B)
SS Jason Bartlett (TB - SS)
OF Andre Ethier (LAD - OF)
OF Adam Jones (Bal - OF)
OF Shane Victorino (Phi - OF)
Util Brian Roberts (Bal - 2B)
BN Jayson Werth (Phi - OF)
BN Hank Blalock (Tex - 1B, 3B)
DL Josh Hamilton (Tex - OF)

Pitchers
Cliff Lee (Cle - SP)
Dan Haren (Ari - SP)
James Shields (TB - SP)
Zack Greinke (KC - SP)
Javier Vázquez (Atl - SP)
Chad Billingsley (LAD - SP)
Matt Capps (Pit - RP)
George Sherrill (Bal - RP)
Fernando Rodney (Det - RP)
Ryan Franklin (StL - RP)

Thanks for help on mine.

I don't know H-2-H scoring, but just looking at your roster, I would hang on to Blalock and drop Sherrill.

Just an observation, I have both Werth and Victorino in a league and been starting Werth and benching Victorino. I have been a big Victorino fan, but so far this year he has not done much running (or anything else for that matter).

I'd drop Blalock. His batting avg has taken a real dive over the last few weeks.

Can you help with mine? viewtopic.php?t=385435

Maybe give it a day or so. Capps is pitching horribly and looks like there is something wrong with him He may very well be DL bound.

If that's not an option, I'd drop Blalock.
