Drop Manny Ramirez for another closer? WHIR

Postby JeterFlips2Cano » Fri Sep 03, 2010 8:51 am

Hey guys. In a H2H league and with the playoffs coming up, I am wondering if I should drop Manny to pick up Uehara (the only closer left on the wire). Now, I really don't have any room for Manny on my starting roster (he's still on my DL), but I am essentially holding onto him to a) block anyone from getting stronger, and b) see if he gets super hot in Chicago. The reason this is finally an issue for me is because I just found out that Morrow will be benched the rest of the season (stupid Toronto) and will have an open slot on my roster. Now, since you can't make any moves with an active player on the DL still, I am stuck between keeping Manny and just having him there or dropping him for another closer, which I sort of need since two of my closers are on crappy teams (CLE, SEA). BTW, the H2H is 6x6 (OPS, K/9), oh and I am in first place with a bye next week so I have a little time to make this decision. Here's my roster:

C- Montero
1B - Cabrera
2B - Utley
SS - Rollins
3B - Zimmerman
OF - C. Gonzalez
OF - Choo
OF - Swisher
Util - Scott
Util - Victorino
DL - Morneau
DL - M. Ramirez


Pitchers:

Halladay
Lee
Latos
Verlander
Romero
B. Anderson
T. Hudson
Liriano
C. Lewis
Morrow
Franklin
C. Perez
D. Aardsma

Go for it bro.

You can use Uehara as a SP too if its a daily league.
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!

I agree.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.
