Should I drop Aaron Hill for Jeremy Hellickson? I think I could probably deal him, but I don't have time if I want to pick up Hellickson. And Roberts has been hitting pretty well lately. Other possibilities to drop would be Ibanez and Stanton, probably, but they've been hitting pretty well too. Or stay put?
14 team H2H keeper C: Miguel Montero 1B: Adrian Gonzalez 2B: Brian Roberts 3B: Aramis Ramirez SS: Jose Reyes OF: Carl Crawford, Carlos Quentin, Raul Ibanez UTIL: Mike Stanton BENCH: Manny Ramirez, Aaron Hill DL: Chase Utley
SP: Tim Lincecum, Chad Billingsley RP: Francisco Rodriguez, Billy Wagner P: Huston Street, Brad Lidge BENCH: John Lackey, Francisco Liriano, Clay Buchholz
I would definitely drop Aaron Hill here. B Rob has been pretty good so far and should keep that up for the rest of the season. Roberts has been drafted in the top 50 for several years now for a reason. Hill has been awful this season and since he can only play 2B or UTIL for you, he has little value. Hellickson should get plenty of starts with all of the Rays pitching injuries right now.
I would say, yeah, drop Hill. Keep in mind that Hellickson could be moved to the pen once Neimann comes off the DL, but he will be money while he is starting. In one of my leagues, I own both Roberts and Hill as well, and I'm starting to consider dropping Hill. He has the power, but has not been giving you much else. Roberts should be solid the rest of the way. If it was a few weeks ago I'd say Ibanez is the no brainer, but he has been hitting well and he has always been a 1 half player, either the first half or second half, this year it looks like he's coming on in the 2nd half.
