Kubel on waivers...who do i drop? WHIR

Postby Fish Tacos » Mon May 17, 2010 11:29 am

12 team 5x5 roto keeper league. I am currently in 2nd place (20 points behind first place). MY biggest weakness is in runs, average and K's. Kubel just was dropped and hit the waivers. I have a good chance of claiming him off waivers. His upside for the season is huge. If I go after Kubel who would you drop? Jackson? but I need the runs. Also, Granderson is expected back in two weeks, so I will have to make room for him also. Is it worth the waiver? Who would you drop once Granderson comes back?

Do you keep your whole squad at season end??

Just taking a quick look I would probably drop Sizemore now that he is in the minors if you don't
keep your whole squad.

please help

Nice team. I would -- and I am probably in the minority here, so look for a few more thoughts on this -- but I would consider dumping Quentin for Kubel and then posting again in a few weeks when Granderson is due to return. I just think Quentin is much less a sure thing than Kubel, and I like the supporting cast in Minn. This, too, is from a guy who dealt Kubel recently after getting sick of his slump, so you know I am not being biased in this advice.

good luck

so quentin was a keeper. our draft rules are odd, but he was my 22nd pick in the draft. if he was to pull it together this season and i decided to keep him for next season he would be a keeper in the 20th round.

If not quentin, I would consider dumping Clement unless you have long term intentions with him and start 2 catchers... otherwise, maybe dump Desmond if you can stomach throwing Lopez out there at 2B for a while.
