It really depends on who'd you'd be picking up. In general, I would never drop Holliday in a ten team league. Sometimes the captain needs to go down with the ship.

Thanks for helping on mine....

As long as he is on your bench, he really isn't hurting you. I think that I'd hang on to him to see if he turns it around. I expect the A's to trade him away before the deadline, so a change of scenery might get him going again.

I'd say keep him, the potential for him to be traded offers hope. At the same time, getting an idea of who you would drop him for might help in making a decision. But my instinct is saying there's probably nothing really worth dropping him for.

Here's mine, thanks: viewtopic.php?t=392491

You can't drop a player of Holliays caliber. See if he turns it around while sittingon your bench. He is a good candidate to get traded too so maybe a chance of scenery will help him out. I wouldnt drop him though. I have him in one of my leagues and am shopping him around hoping I can get a taker for something. Maybe you should do the same if you haven't already. But dont just outright drop him.

please help

you have him on your bench how is he ruining your team? just let him sit there like you have been letting him do. too much upside to just get rid of him.
