Drop Ichiro?

Postby bjmacdow » Mon Jul 19, 2010 7:27 am

I am in an eight team league and EVERY team is ridiculously stacked.

My lineup, excluding pitchers is:
C: Mauer
1b: Votto
2b: Prado
3b: Longoria
SS: Furcal
OF: Guerrero
OF: Boesch
OF: Suzuki
OF: Rasmus
BN: V. Wells
DL: Jacoby Ellsbury
DL: Troy Tulowitzki

Ichiro is producing for average and steals; but Marlon Byrd and Delmon Young are sitting on the FA list with better overall production. Is it crazy to simply drop Ichiro to pick up a FA? I don't think anyone needs to trade for him in an 8 team league. Please leave a link. WHIR.

Wow. That's an interesting decision. Ordinarily I'd say "WHAT?", but in an 8 team league, dropping Ichiro could be ok.

Have you at least TRIED to shop him around? Try to shop him for another under-performing OF before going after Byrd/Young. Someone like Jayson Werth maybe? I'd rather go after under-performing guys who have a track record for being great than young, slightly unproven guys who are overachieving.
(In reference to an Aaron Hill for David Price swap)

Thanks. I have thought of that too. i have a spare closer and may try to shop Ichiro and a closer to someone that needs saves/average/steals. I will see how that goes. He is just not producing enough for me.
