Drop Ortiz for Konerko?

Postby jarobert » Thu Apr 08, 2010 1:24 pm

10 Team Roto League.

Currently Howard starting at 1B with Ortiz on the Bench.

For week 2 some injuries would force me to use Ortiz in the Utility spot or drop him for someone:

Notable players include:

Paul Konerko
Hideki Matsui
Nick Swisher
Magglio Ordonez

Drop Ortiz for any of these guys?

Need some help kind of fast. I have a feeling Konerko is going to get snapped up.

I would drop Ortiz for any of those guys (except Swisher). But Konerko should give you the biggest return the quickest. Keep a close eye on Maggs too, i think he is going to have a very good season.

Unless you have a "Pounds Per At Bat" category, Papi is almost worthless, especially this early in the season.

Weight issue + bad knees + probably-older-than-34 = steep decline continues, imo.

I'd grab Konerko and keep a close eye on Magglio.

I'd do it same home run potential Konerko can hit for a higher average, and isn't limited to a util only slot

I'd add Konerko for sure, but I wouldn't be so hasty to drop Ortiz either. Anyone else you can drop?
