Wood on DL, who to pick up? WHIR 100%

Postby saemick » Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:48 pm

With Kerry Wood starting the year on the DL, I need a little help in deciding who to pick up for the open roster spot:

Sean Rodriguez (TB - OF, 2B) - been absolutely killing it in spring and could possibly get SS eligibility as well
Austin Jackson (DET - OF) - will bat leadoff and start in CF.
Ian Desmond (Was - 2b, SS) - has looked good and could get the nod at SS over Guzman

Octavio Dotel (PIT - RP) - should be ready to go by opening day and has no real competition for the closers role
Luke Gregerson (SD - RP) - will help me in the "Holds" category, pitches in Petco, and has a low ERA/WHIP
Daniel Bard (BOS - RP) - should get a lot of holds on a good BOS team

Below is my team:

12-team 6x6 H2H Yahoo! NON-KEEPER league (includes HOLDS)
c: Doumit
1b: Miguel Cabrera
2b: Cano
ss: Stephen Drew
3b: David Wright
IF: Chris Davis
OF: Sizemore, Granderson, BJ upton
Utl: Carlos Gonzalez
BN: E. Cabrera, Heyward
SP: Hamels, Nolasco, James Shields, Scherzer, J. Sanchez, Buchholz, Duchscherer
RP: Bell, Mike Gonzalez, Wood, Neftali Feliz, Frasor
2x DL spots

Hitters: R, HR, RBI, SB, BA, OPS Pitchers: W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, HOLDS

I'd be between Rodriguez and Desmond since they have the possibility of helping your team most. Not a fan of Jackson or any of those RP except for Bard but I think you're okay in holds.

I would go with Gregerson. Very solid and as you said, should give you a fair amount of holds.

Hmmmmm.... That's tough. You definitely don't need help in the OF, and Rodriguez likely won't play every day. Desmond has a lot of potential, and that lineup isn't bad. I'd go with him, but couldn't fault you for taking Gregerson for the holds, and in case Bell gets traded.

Thanks for the help with mine.
Thank you to soty for hooking me up with another awesome sig!

Lots of other interesting players there, but Gregorson also seemed like the obvious choice given your league parameters.

I'd go with Dotel since you need a closer from this DL stint, guys like Feliz and Frasor aren't gonna help you there

lindstem??? if you mean Lindtsrom pretty sure he is in Houston and Madson will close while Lidge is out.

As for who to pick up I'd go Gregerson as he would help the most with league categories
