[tjb072003]

WHO DO I KEEP FOR MY UTILITY PLAYER NATE MCLOUTH OR ALEXEI RAMIREZ IVE GOT JETER AT SS AND MY OFs ARE CUDDYER ADAM JONES AND QUENTIN.THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP.

STOP SHOUTING. I STILL HAVE A HANGOVER.

In this case, I lean toward McLouth. Both guys are 28, so even though they recently broke out, neither is really a prospect. If you are using them almost strictly at Util, then you really just want bigger numbers, and McLouth does that across the board. Ramirez also qualifies at SS and OF in some leagues, but an IF is just less valuable if you use them at Util, where you could just as easily plug in a CI or OF. And Jeter played 155 games last year.

McLouth over Alexei, but I'd try and packageAlexei & Cuddyer in a trade for an upgrade. If you can't do that I'd probably keep Alexei over Cuddyer as SS is very thin this year.

I agree cut Cuddyer at keep McClouth and Alexei.

I think people are sleeping on Cuddyer a little too much, but I'd still keep Ramirez only because he does still have the name value that you could move later on for a better player.
