Who to drop/trade to make room for Smoltz & Escobar?

Postby the dresden » Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:52 am

10 team H2H league, currently in 3rd place

Smoltz and Escobar are due off the DL this month and I need to clear some room for them.
I'm trying to figure out how to best put myself in a position to stay strong in the league without sacrificing too much through trade(s) or outright drops.

My roster:
C: Soto
1B: Morneau
2B: Utley
SS: H. Ramirez
3B: Blalock
IF: Dunn (1B eligible)
OF: Markakis, Ethier, Werth
Util: L. Scott
BN: D. Ortiz, J. Hairston, S-S. Choo

SP: Beckett, Billingsley, Hanson, Dempster, Wolf, S. Richmond
RP: Soria, Francisco, Street
DL: Smoltz, Escobar

I'm rich in OFs so I could defitely package a trade deal w/ one of them. Who would you give up out of the bunch? I'm trying to remain patient w/ Ortiz on the bench but that's becoming increasingly more difficult to do. I think Konerko exhausted all of my fantasy "wait and see" patience last season. I like Hairson's eligibility so I'd rather not move him.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

No wonder I don't spend a lot of time here. Thanks for nothing.

Drop Ortiz. this is east coast bias at it's best. The glory days are over. This is not a surprise. He has been steadily declining in HR and RBI over the last 4 years.

IMO, drop Harriston and Richmond. Though, I would take a 'wait and see' approach with at least one of Smoltz and Escobar before you commit to the drop.
