drop or not?

Postby Crunchers » Thu May 21, 2009 12:54 pm

i feel like my pitching is solid, my speed is great but with ludwick and hafner on the dl my power is slacking, I like having back ups on offense! I need more power. I am hurting in rbis and runs. runs will come with utley, crawfrod and ellsbury so I am worried about my rbis! plus once hafner and ludwick come off the dl i will have to drop a player

g sheffield is on the waiver wire, I think he will be a good addition for a short term basis but who do I drop? I have narrowed it down to c young or j francoeur but thats just my opinion and i dropped j upton so I will take advice
my roster is

c m napoli bn b inge
1b j morneau
2b utley bn a carbrera
3b lowell bn m reynolds
ss scurato bn peralta
of crawford bn j francoeur
of ellsbury bn c young
of b inge bn/dl R ludwick
util m reynolds
dl T hafner


sp j santana
sp e santana
rp ziegler
rp f rodriguez
p h street
p joba chamberlin
p u jiminez
bn cueto
bn f hernandez

Ah, your lower case letters are killing me.

I would lean towards dropping Young also, he'sbeen a disapointment for me.

i know i said i am looking to pick up sheffield but will his power be the best option?
i think its safe to drop young, who ever i pick up i will need to trade or drop when ludwick and hafner returns
sorry for the lower case hope this better

Sheffield will get limited AB's once Delgado returns. Melky has been hitting the ball hard and his production may increase with more AB's, the yankees have been inserting him into the line up more and more. Sheffield or Melky would be my top selections.

Cuddyer. Easily.

I picked him up last week and started him in my weekly league. What a pickup! How can you not like a guy hitting behind Span, Mauer and Morneau !?!?!

I picked up cuddyer and dropped c young, I know I said I was going to pick sheffield up but cuddyer is killing the ball. I still have questions about j francoeur should I drop him or sit and wait if he starts producing? Options I have looked at and maybe mentioned before is This position I will be looking to buy low trade high

J cust
G sheffield
Melky cabrera
or if you know of any potentional pitchers with trade value?
