which SS should i pick up off FA?

Postby mshimmyb » Sun May 30, 2010 11:37 am

I have Jason Barlett at SS right now and he has been a pretty big let down, not to mention he got hurt yesterday and not sure if its serious or not? I have a feeling he's gonna turn it around but I have a spot open and SS is my weakest postiton


on the Free Agent list right now i could pick up Juan Uribe, Alexi Ramirez, Clint Barnes, Yuniesky Betancourt, Ian Desmond, Mike Aviles, JJ Hardy, Starlin Castro? These are just some of my top choices... Who would you pick up?

Is Alexi going to turn it around and hit to his potential? Is Uribe gonna stay this hot? Can Barnes have a season like he did last year? Is Aviles and Castro really gonna stay this hot? These are just some of my thoughts...

Im in first place in my league and this is my team:
C: Victor Martinez. 1B: Miguel Cabrera. 2B: Robinson Cano. SS: Jason Bartlett. 3B: Pablo Sandoval. OF: Vernon Wells, Curtis Granderson, Ryan Braun, Andre Etheir. UTL: Micheal Cuddyer

I had Brett Gardner for a while but just dropped him for Buster Posey since i recently picked up Curtis Granderson. Thanks for any suggestions!!

or i could pick up Reid Brignac who would probably be playing in place of Bartlett if he's hurt?

I would add Castro, he's on a tear and his hot streak should last until Bartlett is ready to come back. Best case scenario he keeps on hitting and you can keep Bartlett on your bench.

Thanks for your help on mine.

I'd go with Castro also. Ride the hot hand until Bartlett comes back or is put on the DL.

I am in the same situation right now also with Jason Bartlett. I would suggest either picking up Escobar, Castro, or Alexei Ramírez

Alexei Ramirez- always starts slow, already starting to hit.

Castro is not a huge SB guy. He has 1 right now.
