Drop Hill for Hellickson? WHIR

Postby Boyakasha » Wed Aug 11, 2010 9:50 pm

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?

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.

Help with mine?

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.

How many guys do you keep?

Unless hill is likely to factor into your keepers, I see no reason to sweat dropping him at this point, especially if hellickson may be a keeper.

i would agree that hill is the guy to drop for hellickson.

you can't let that guy linger in the wire too long. he'll almost certainly get scooped up before his next start.

lil' help
