Drop Furcal for Reimold, Hanrahan or Nolasco? WHIR

Postby master_herm » Mon Jun 01, 2009 10:41 pm

I'm fine at SS as I have Hanley and Hardy, right now Furcal is just occupying a bench spot. I have 2 util spots that can be used by either Hart, Hardy, Lind or Furcal. I could use the SB but Furcal hasn't been doing much of anything so I never start him. Plus I'm in the middle of the pack in steals so it's not an urgent need.

If I drop Furcal, which of those 3 guys should I add? The best pitcher who would immediately help is Maine, but I like the idea of stashing Nolasco. Reimold I'm not sure will help that much more than my other 3 guys who can start in my 2 util spots. I could also use Hanrahan for saves but is he a sure thing again?

Tough call. I dropped Furcal a couple weeks ago, despite not having suitable replacements as you do, and I have never looked back. He's been terrible and he's a waste of space. If you can improve another area of your team, I say do it. I probably would drop him for Maine, possibly for Hanrahan but not for Reimold.

Only if you are really hurting for a position would I drop him for one of those 3. I don't like Reimold or Hanrahan in any other situation, and dropping one struggling player for another more struggling player who's not even in the majors doesn't seem helpful. I'd be tempted to wait.

I'd do it for Nolasco personally. I think he'll bounce back he has a horrible BABIP of .386 against, his velocity is normal as is his control. Minors are exactly what he needed. Maybe you can try and package Furcal and someone else for something you need even though Furcal's value is in the gutter. If you have limited time then I'm voting Nolasco ;-D

Thanks for the help guys.. what do you think about Hanrahan vs. Rafael Soriano? I'm with you in that I should have either Furcal or Nolasco, still haven't decided but I think I can wait Nolasco out at least a week and watch his progress. I also have Tommy Hanson stashed on my roster. So should I drop Soriano for Hanrahan assuming I need help w/ saves and don't care too much about peripherals as my pitching isn't that great anyway, or do I drop Hanson for Hanrahan or possibly Nolasco? Thanks.
