In a 10-teamer, I'd advocate being a little more brutal on droppers: Bourn, Hoffman, and Lidge would all go for me.

I'd take Thornton, who's actually pitching well. Something about this does strike me as he will be the closer by July. That's better than Hoffman and Lidge who appear done.

I'd take and stash Roberts. People are sleeping on him somewhat if he's not worth a FA pickup and DL stash anymore. It would have sucked to take him as your 5th rounder, but c'mon, this is a gift horse to figure out later ;)

Lastly, I take Qualls. As much as he seems bad like Lidge and Hoff. he's younger, healthier, surrounded by worse pitchers in the pen, and has better peripherals. He's better than this, which isn't something I can say about Hoff/Lidge.

I could see passing on Thornton in that case: how many top 5 C prospects are coming to play 1B this year. If we're wrong, in a 10-teamer, you'll get another closer or saves vulture later.

I'd drop Bourne for Posey. I realize you have McCann, but hopefully Posey will tear it up and you'll have great trade bait (in either Posey or McCann). Also, I'd cut Lidge loose and use your DL stash spot for Brian Roberts. Not feeling good about Lidge this year.

Help with mine? http://www.fantasybaseballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=413406
