Who to drop in a dynasty league?

Postby lane_anasazi2 » Fri Apr 16, 2010 2:49 pm

I need to pick up an interim second baseman because Kinsler is on the DL for a while longer, it seems. This is a H2H dynasty league with 20 teams so I really need to be sure before I drop someone. I'd be OK with leaving 2B unfilled except that I'll need to drop someone anyway when Kinsler gets back from the DL, so I might as well do it now and get Kennedy or Arias or someone to pick up some counting stats next week.

Here's my team. The question is who to drop. Remember I can't drop a DL'ed guy to free up space or I'd drop Mat Gamel for sure.

C - Matt Wieters
1B - Mark Reynolds
2B - (empty)
3B - Chase Headley
SS - J.J. Hardy
OF - Ichiro Suzuki
OF - Jay Bruce
OF - Justin Upton
UTL - Franklin Gutiérrez
BN - Nolan Reimold
BN - Fernando Martinez
BN - Jesus Montero
DL - Mat Gamel
DL - Ian Kinsler

SP - Yovani Gallardo
SP - Jake Peavy
SP - Hiroki Kuroda
SP - Clay Buchholz
SP - Rick Porcello
SP - Colby Lewis
SP - Jeremy Hellickson
RP - Chris Pérez
RP - Brandon League
RP - Kevin Jepsen
RP - Carlos Mármol
RP - Jenrry Mejía
DL - Huston Street
DL - Joe Nathan
DL - Jordan Zimmermann

Right now I'm leaning towards dropping either League or Jepsen. I really like both these guys, though. Maybe Fernando Martinez? I still like him a lot long-term.

Anyway, let me know what you think. Leave a link and I'll look at yours.

I would be comfortable dumping League or Jepsen.

With Jepsen at least a little closer to the the closer role than League, i'd go with dropping League.

Forgot to mention the league counts holds as well as saves, so Jepsen being closer to closing isn't as big a deal as it would be in a saves-only league.
