Carlos Santana Issue - CLOSED Answer Received -Thanks

Postby Kimbos Beard » Fri Jun 11, 2010 11:16 am

12 team 5x5 roto redraft

There was a rush on prospects about 2 weeks ago in my league, so I scooped up Carlos Santana. I have Ryan Doumit, and was concerned because Pittsburgh has stuck to given him plenty of rest, so he doesn't start at least 1 sometimes 2 games in a week. However, the more I read the more it seems that Santana is far away from being called up and the Pirates are now experimenting with having Doumit play 1B on his days off.

I was thinking of dropping Santana since he is just occupying a roster spot and picking up another pitcher or a RP to help with WHIP and ERA.

Thoughts? WHIR

C - Doumit
1B - Fielder
2B - Phillips
3B -Wright
SS - Ian Desmond
OF - Bay, Granderson, CarGo
Util - Pablo
Bnch - Carlos Santana, - DL Beltran

SP - Wainwright, Billingsley, Cain, Pelfrey, Marcum, Zambrano, Latos
RP - Rauch, Capps, Gregg, Aardsma

I could pickup up a guy like Bard, Zumaya, or Marshall to help my WHIP and ERA and maybe some vulture wins.

CJ WIlson is available, and I was looking at maybe taking a chance with Jar-Jar, who could be back in 2 weeks or so.

I would hold onto Santana for a while and see how he does, just bc (1) he has tremendous potential and (2) you have no offensive players on your bench. In a couple weeks if he is sucking drop him for a pitcher then. If he is killing it you can trade a catcher to someone who needs it for a player better than you will find among the free agents.

Help on my question?

Santana is starting for the Tribe tonight, so I wouldn't be dropping him anymore.

I would definitely not drop Santana right now.

I don't think you'll get much more out of Doumit, but Santana has the ceiling to be a V-Mart level catcher.

Help?
