Hate to ask this, but I really need help on who to drop.

Postby Yankeesin05 » Sun Sep 05, 2010 7:47 pm

It's a 16 team H2H Yahoo dynasty league. We're in the 5th year of the dynasty where we keep 16 players. I'm currently in 2nd place.

I need to drop a player to activate ARod off of the DL, and it has turned into a harder decision than I anticipated. I've concluded that I cannot afford drop any of my pitchers, so I've narrowed it down to Headley, Ibanez, or Allen ( :-o ) . I'm not going to be keeping either Headley or Ibanez, but they can still contribute any given day to help me this season. I'd like to keep Allen, but to win this year, I will cut him. What are some of your thoughts?

I think you answered the question for yourself: drop Headley. He has minor value but he is not even in the same breath as Arod, and Arod is his direct replacement. You can add a guy of the WW/FA list sometime next year who wil give you everything Headley does.

Headley for Arod, logical and the right move.
