Too many OF's but I want Rivera!!! WHIR!!!

Postby WhipperSnappers44 » Wed Jul 08, 2009 12:14 am

Hey all.....I am sitting in 1st place in my Yahoo H2H league (10 CATS) and I don't know what to do!

I have 5 OF's already and all are too good to drop but J.Rivera (LAA) is sitting on the WW and I don't think he will last there too long (he has been dominate and hit another HR today already)!

What do I do??? Do I drop one of my OF's? Do I drop an SP/RP? (all are too good).....if I drop say D.Lowe who has sucked then that would give me 6 OF's and only 4 SP's!

Please help in getting Rivera.....I will definately help you if needed!!!

*Side Note* - I might try and grab Rivera and then package Ludwick/Well's or something like that for a top SP or a top OF or a mixture of both but nobody likes to trade so it might be hard!

My Team:

Hitting - B.Inge, R.Howard, B.Roberts, A.Huff, M.Scutaro, Adam Jones, Ichiro, A.Lind, V.Wells (Bench - C.Barmes, R.Ludwick, D.Uggla)

Pitching - M.Buerhle, A.Wainwright, AJ Burnett, D.Lowe, R.Nolasco, K.Wood, C.Qualls, B.Jenks, D.Aardsma

You need to trim down your hitting and add to your pitching. You have 5 good OFs but 1 or 2 of them is rotting on your bench. Gotta nag nag nag and make some sort of a trade for pitching. If you are in first place, then drop Lowe and pickup Juan and then start packaging two or three hitters for some starting pitching help. Or drop Barmes (I think the worst bat on your team) for him and start packaging some batters for either an upgraded bat or solid starting pitching help.

To be honest I think Uggla, Ludwick and Barmes are all droppable if you can pickup someone worth it. Obviously you'd be better off trading these bats, but I'm just saying that I personally think they can be dropped in a 10 team league if the pickup is worth it, although I don't think Rivera is an upgrade anywhere in your outfield as it stands and he'd be picked up just for trade bait or just to fill an outfield spot if you trade away Jones, Ichiro, Wells, etc.
