Stubbs, Quentin or Byrd?

Postby Element » Wed May 12, 2010 2:52 pm

12 team, $260 (keep up to 7 by adding $5 to previous salary), 5x5 (OBP instead of runs scored). There is NO BENCH in this league and I am limited on the number of waive moves I can use over the course of the season. We're given 10 moves and I have 8 remaining. Here is my OF.

Braun $35
Kemp $19
Bruce $11
Quentin $15
Byrd $15 (Manny $16 (DL))
Stubbs $3

I have two weeks from the time someone is activated to get them active in this league. Manny has some favorable matchups this weekend & I would like to get him active. I picked up Marlon Byrd as his replacement & he has been on fire (but is only 2 for his last 16). I could drop him w/o burning a precious waive move. Or do I keep Byrd and let Stubbs or Quentin go? I have already burned a waive to pick up Quentin after a frustrated owner dumped him (I dropped Hart). I only have Stubbs at $3 & he could blow up at any point and I would have a keeper for the next few seasons. Dropping Stubbs or Quentin (full time players) would cost a waive move.

What would you do?

Does anyone else care to chime in? I am still undecided and my deadline to make the move is in just over an hour. I understand that Byrd is a better player, but the question here is "Is it worth using one of only 8 remaining waive moves?". To make things more frustrating, Stubbs hit a homer last night and had a nice all around game. He was my major sleeper heading into this season. I'm having trouble cutting bait.
