Who to Drop after 2 for 1 trade? WHIR

Postby blmurs » Fri Jun 26, 2009 9:01 am

I just made a 2 for 1 deal, picked up CC and Sandoval and traded Josh Hamilton, and now I have an extra guy on my roster who needs to be dropped.
I'm deciding between:
Andy Laroche, Hank Blalock, Riemold, Liriano, Blackburn.
I picked up a corner infielder in Sandoval, and have Aramis coming back in the next few weeks so Laroche or Blalock might be expendable, but I also have a deep staff so I could drop one of the 2 pitchers. But I think the pitchers have more value than either Laroche or Blalock, which is why I'm leaning towards killing one of the 2. Any opinions? WHIR

Hold on to Liriano and bench him until he hopefully turns it around. No need to hold on to LaRohe. Get rid of him!


Take a look at this deal please bud!

Another vote for LaRoche. Like you said, he and Blalock are just killing time until ARam comes back anyway (maybe only a couple weeks away). He's completely expendable.

Help in return? viewtopic.php?f=26&t=391663
