Wandy Rodriguez, Andy Pettitte, Ervin Santana, Adam Jones, Hunter Pence, Rickie Weeks and Rafael Furcal are all free agents in my league! It's a 10-team league and I don't know why so many fantastic players have been dropped. I'm sitting on this team right now:
C - Rod Barajas
1B - Prince Fielder
2B - Chone Figgins
3B - Alex Rodriguez
SS - Elvis Andrus
OF - Carl Crawford
OF - Carlos Lee
OF - Carlos Quentin
Util - Stephen Drew
BN - Ryan Doumit
BN - Howie Kendrick
BN - Andre Ethier
SP - Adam Wainwright
SP - Felix Hernandez
SP - Jon Lester
RP - Ryan Franklin
RP - Matt Lindstrom
P - Tyler Clippard
P - Francisco Liriano
P - Tim Hudson
BN - Hiroki Kuroda
BN - Brian Matusz
DL - Brandon Webb
I'm also in 7th place. There are so many things that I can do right now, I just need help deciding what. Here are the options that make some sense:
1) Drop Drew for Furcal
2) Drop Matusz for Wandy
3) Drop Quentin for Jones
4) Drop Kendrick for Weeks
If I did all of that and Ethier/Webb were back, just to give us an idea of what it would look like:
C - Rod Barajas
1B - Prince Fielder
2B - Chone Figgins
3B - Alex Rodriguez
SS - Elvis Andrus
OF - Carl Crawford
OF - Adam Jones
OF - Andre Ethier
Util - Rafael Furcal
BN - Rickie Weeks
BN - Carlos Lee
BN - Ryan Doumit
SP - Adam Wainwright
SP - Felix Hernandez
SP - Wandy Rodriguez
RP - Matt Lindstrom
RP - Ryan Franklin
P - Jon Lester
P - Francisco Liriano
P - Tim Hudson
BN - Hiroki Kuroda/Tyler Clippard (drop one when Webb comes back)
I think that looks amazing, but it's all on paper. I would like to think that I know what I'm talking about with Fantasy Baseball, but with so many great players as FAs I don't know what to think! Quentin, Drew and Kendrick aren't even terrible players. Thanks for your input, I will be glad to talk to you about your team or league as well.
