Drop Posey for Victor Martinez?? WHIR.

Postby jarobert » Tue Sep 07, 2010 7:31 pm

10 Team Roto Redraft. Currently in 1st place but by a narrow margin.

Posey has been great but Victor Martinez just cleared waivers and I'm thinking of making the swap.

Who do you like the rest of the way?

If you are going to win a championship, u need VMart on ur team. Is there anyway u can keep both and slot VMART in a UTL or DH spot? That would be ideal. If not, then go ahead and cut Posey. He's bound to tire down the stretch. ;-D
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

If I can, I own and start both. Forced to pick one, I do take Vic still though.

I don't think there is an obvious drop here. League counts holds and I'm using Chapman in the 5th SP spot because I'm a little over on innings pitched.

It's a weekly league so if I was confident that Reyes would be back on Saturday I could drop Drew .

Batters

C: Buster Posey (C,1B)
1B: Ryan Howard (1B)
2B: Robinson Cano (2B)
3B: Placido Polanco (2B,3B)
SS: Stephen Drew (SS)
LF: Ryan Braun (LF)
CF: Andrew McCutchen (CF)
RF: Josh Hamilton (LF,CF,RF)
Util: Chris Young (CF), Andre Ethier (RF)
BN: Jose Reyes (SS), David Ortiz (1B)

SP: Adam Wainwright (SP)
Francisco Liriano (SP,RP)
Clay Buchholz (SP)
David Price (SP)
Zack Greinke (SP)
Chad Billingsley (SP)

Jonathan Papelbon (RP)
Kevin Gregg (RP)
Clay Hensley (RP)
Hong-Chih Kuo (RP)
Fernando Rodney (RP)
Aroldis Chapman (RP)

You'd probably get better production out of VMart than Chris Young.
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.

Chris Young has 24 home runs, 83 RBIs, 27 stolen bases and a batting average that is not hurting me.

I don't see how VMart would be an upgrade.

Hensley?

I always take the player first, then worry about holds later: MR are dime a dozen.

Drop Hensley. U have 4 other closers. And what Tuttle said, u can always find Holds on the waiver wire. Plus it will only help your innings pitched count, especially with Hensley going 1+ innings in alot of outings.

think about it this way... if you drop Posey whoever picks him up is likely going to make a much bigger uprgrade than you are with Vmart.
