Crazy Question - Drop Brian Roberts?

[Gnu314]

Ok so I've been struck with the injury bug early.

I'm in a 9 team 5x5 roto so our teams are a little stacked.

My line up
Jorge Posada
P. Fielder
Kelly Johnson
Mark Reynolds
Matt Kemp
Carlos Lee
Colby Rasmus
Util - Manny Ramirez (yes I don't have bench or DL spots for him.)
BN - Brian Roberts
BN - Jacoby Ellsbury

Pitchers
Johan
Matt Cain
RP - Leo Nunez
RP - Jon Rausch
P - Frank Francisco
P - Kevin Gregg
BN - Jake Peavy
BN - Chad Billingsley
BN - Dan Haren
BN - Francisco Liriano
DL - Huston Street

To be honest I need counting stats from my hitters, particularly runs and steals. I've been holding my own in the power cats due to Kelly Johnson being a beast.

But Posada is likely to miss a few games and I've already missed 4 games or so from Manny.

What would you do? I could easily consider trading 2 closers for an upgrade or something like that too. I'm starting to think Johnson may end up being my all time 2nd baseman, and Rasmus is looking more legit as the season goes on.

If you can't trade 2 closers, I would honestly consider dropping Huston Street or Frank Francisco if you can wait for Street to return. Then you can put one of your hitters in the DL slot and pick up someone who can contribute right away. You already have a lot of closers, so dropping Street or Francisco won't kill you as much as a daily starting slot being occupied by an injured hitter.

Who do you think would be worth targeting based on the closers I have available?
