Do I need more speed? Who to pick up/drop?

Postby GDormz » Wed Apr 07, 2010 10:25 pm

10 Team Head to Head

I was wondering if my team is lacking in speed? Also, I was wondering if I were to pick some up who would be the best bet and who should I drop? My league counts holds so before you suggest I drop a middle reliever just thought I'd throw it out there.

My roster

C- Doumit
1B- Pujols
2B- Phillips
3B- Youk
SS- HanRam
LF- Lee
CF- Hunter
RF- Cruz
Util- Butler
Bn- Carlos Gonzalez
Bn- Jay Bruce
Bn- Derosa
DL- Beltran

SP- Lester
SP- Billingsly
SP- Brett Anderson
SP- Pineiro
RP- M. Gonzalez
RP- Wagner
RP- Rauch
P- Bard
P- Chamberlain
Bn- Happ
Bn- Matusz

Speed guys on the wire:

Rajai Davis
Carlos Gomez
Choo
Delmon Young (has some pop too)
Kendrick
Brett Gardner

Who should I drop (if any1) to pick up one of these guys (and which 1?)

WHIR!! Could really use the input
Thanks, Will Help in Return

I don't really see how you need more speed. I think Brett Gardner will surprise people and the fact that he's hitting at the bottom of the line up to me means that he'll have more RBI chances and still steal a ton of bases. Pinero is nothing special, you'll find equal value pitchers on the wire if not better.

Choo is way too good to be on the WW. Sure, he might only get 20-25 steals, but he's very balanced overall. I'd probably drop Piniero, especially in a 10 teamer.
