That's my team.

I am in a h2h matchup, and whoever wins BA wins the whole thing. Now, right now our BA are withing .01 of each other, so I was wondering I should bench anyone today. I was thinking that bench guys like"strikeout" Wright and Beckham would improve my chances of winning AVG. What would you guys do? Thanks.

From what I gather of your situation I would probobly bench all guys not know for high avg. and any going against tough SPs. Without know the pitching matchups I say bench Beckham, Posada, Phillips, Konerko, Howard, Span....in that order. Of course this all assumes all other categories are locked up.

[baegames]

Agree with the analysis above as ar as tough starters.

Bench Posada, beckham, Gonzalez, Konerko, Phillips, and anyone facing a tough pitcher.

Maybe sit Beckham, but otherwise... come on, roll with your team, man.

Would you play Berkman instead of Konerko? He has been pretty good against Zito in the past...
