At least this type of problem is all I have to complain about this week. I have to bench one of these OF's (or a 1st baseman and put the other OF in utility). This is a CBS H2H points league with weekly lineups and the following scoring for hitters.
Scoring for Batting Categories 1B - Singles 1 point 2B - Doubles 2 points 3B - Triples 3 points BB - Walks (Batters) 1 point CS - Caught Stealing -1 point HP - Hit by Pitch 1 point HR - Home Runs 4 points KO - Strikeouts (Batter) -0.5 points R - Runs 1 point RBI - Runs Batted In 1 point SB - Stolen Bases 2 points

1st please tell me how you were able to post the screen shot in the Cafe forum, i've been trying for years and i am too stupid to figure it out
Now for your question: AGonz is different monster on the road and this week all his games are away. he's a must play R.Ibanez is playing like Barry Bonds did when he turned 37. He's a must play So the odd man out will be between Bay, Dunn, and Hamilton
Bay plays more games this week, start'em, though he hasn't produce a lot lately, with Ortiz potentially moving out of the 3hole, maybe Bay slides there with Youk hitting behind him. Hamilton is hitting .357/.400/.714 in the last 7 days with only 1 K, and his playing all of his games in hitter friendly Arlington Dunn could be at the beginning of another hot streak (4-8, 2hr is last 2games, but 8K in 20 AB) - but i think Dunn is the odd man out

(1) ability (2) opponent (3) park
Need to start in Texas (Hammy), Colorado (A-Gon), 6 games in Philly (Ibanez), 7 games (Bay).
If you want a laugh, Pujols might be a contender, but you never bench Pujols.
So, I'd go with Dunn.
I'm going to strongly disagree with you here. Dunn has consistently hit 40 Homers and 100+ RBI's for the past 4 seasons. Philly has one of the most hitter friendly parks in the MLB so 3 games there works to his advantage. This season he's also raised his batting average well above what we have come to expect from him. As for A-Gon's games in Colorado, it is a huge misconception that Coors field is the most hitter friendly park. Major league baseball actually ranks it as the 8th most hitter friendly park. However, A-Gon has hit very well there in his career so I'm not fully confident in benching him either. Maybe, I just took you post to literally and you were just comparing his situation this week to the others. The bottom line is that it really doesn't matter. My team is stacked and this league is a joke, but I'm enjoying crushing them by as large a margin as possible. lol
As for the screen shot, I've never had any problems posting them. I think the Cafe frowns on it for some reason so I don't do it often. I had an animated signature for awhile too, and the other members weren't sure how I managed to get that up either since they are not permitted here (I didn't know that when I had it)

wow, so that didn't help me
dunn is also going to face some quality LHP SPs (hamels, santana), though santana's numbers are better against righties, Dunn has hit for far less power against LHP (although he hit one last night off of a LHP).
and you are right Philly's stadium might as well host the little league world series, HR should only count for 1/2 a run there. But Citi field is no joke.

Oh, you are talking about pitching match ups with Dunn. I didn't even look to see how many lefties he was facing. If I still have time to adjust my roster I'll go take a look at that.
Going back to the screen shots, are you asking HOW to post one or WHY you can't here? My point was that I don't think most of the members can because we're not really supposed to (possibly for copyright reasons or something like that). For some unknown reason (perhaps just because I am so awesome) I am able to. If you don't know how...

Even though I would hate to do it I would bench Dunn, as Hammy can hit with a little more extra base hits and steal a base, Dunn tends to be too one dimensioonla at times.

I was just looking at the schedule for Dunn in Philly compared to the others. Philly is a hitter's haven, but Ibanez has ALL of his games in Philly. The fact that Philly is such a hitter's park is why I even half-jokingly suggested Pujols. No, I wouldn't bench Pujols.
