Drop Borbon for Pods? WHIR

Postby Emerald8h » Fri Apr 16, 2010 5:36 am

Hey, 12 team yahoo roto public league with standard 5x5 cats. Since Rollins went down to my DL for at least the rest of this month and Borbon getting off to a frigid start, does anyone think that it is worth picking up Podsednik and dropping Borbon or anybody else for that matter? Pods is at this point on waivers. At this pace, by looking at my roster, I will be considerably short in steals by the end of the month. WHIR Thanks guys.

C Suzuki
1B Pujols
2B Kendrick
3B Youk
SS Hardy (filling in for Rollins)
OF Bay
OF Kubel
OF Quentin
UTIL Morneau
UTIL Borbon
BN Chris Young, Carlos Gonzalez
DL Rollins

SP Josh Johnson, Jimenez, Nolasco, Wandy, Wolf, Slowey
RP Cordero, Qualls, Nunez, Dotel, Gregg

While I am at it, there are a bunch of good FA's in FA. Would anybody pull the trigger for these guys?

Liriano, Duchscherer, Lidge (DL), Matusz, Francoeur, Pods

I would consider adding Liriano, he is looking great so far this year.

I would drop Borbon for Pods right now......Pods is red hot...

Liriano is worth picking up to replace Wolf or Slowey in my opinion

Also if Lidge is the closer when he gets back and seems healthy, I would drop Dotel or Gregg for him.....

I would hold onto Borbon and dump Wolf for Liriano. Pods is off to a great start, but over the course of a full season I think he'll hit for a lower average than Borbon will.

Agree, I'd hold on to Borbon, but drop either Wolf or Slowey for Liriano

Thanks, I think that's what my plan of action will be. Honestly I can't figure out who on offense I would drop for Pods except for Borbon, and honestly I hate giving up on a guy with upside two weeks into the year. Pods is hitting great but if someone swooped him up, I wouldn't be devastated.

Lidge would be a good pickup but since I have Rollins on the DL, he'll be a wait and see pick up.

So it's basically who will I drop for Liriano. Slowey or Wolf? I'll keep the higher upside guy in slowey and see what happens. Thanks.

Liriano and Matusz are must grabs imo. And I DO think Pods will have a better line than Borbon at the end of the year, but hate to see Borbon go with all his potential.
