unbelievable, AJ Burnett dropped...need to make room?...WHIR

Postby Tom Emanski AllStars » Sat May 23, 2009 12:31 pm

AJ Burnett dropped but i'm having a hard time deciding on who to drop for him? help me out, please.

my plan before AJ got dropped:
a) pickup Matt Wieters and drop John Maine (Weiters will be past the super2 date on June1 and it stands to reason that he will be called up shortly after, most likely on June9 when the O's return home)

do i know throw those plans away and try to claim Burnett and drop Maine? or is there someone else on my roster worth dropping for Burnett?

10 team - H2H- 6x6 - nonkeeper - daily changes

OF-Raul Ibanez (of)
Util-Adam Dunn (1b/of)

Personally I'd drop Peralta and Maine for Burnett and Wieters. Sandoval would be a valuable player to plug in throughout your roster. You just can't pass on AJ

Ditto. With daily changes, theres no reason to keep that many bench hitters, unless theres a IP limit. If not, fill your bench with middle of the rotation starters and reap the rewards. And I'd drop Peralta and Maine in a flash for them both

I've been playing peralta at SS because Tulo has been struggling...are ya'll that confidant in Tulo that i should drop Peralta?


if i did that i'd essentially be having the same amount of hitters and pitchers on the bench, are you saying i should drop more of my hitters? i've been trying to throw a couple of trades together but keep getting shot down.

I agree with the above about dropping maine. I also think you can drop either peralta OR tulo, i dont think it necessarily needs to be peralta as previously stated. He is just cold right now. I still have faith in him and am holding onto him in one of my leagues

mine please
