I need some speed (WHIR)

Postby Bjorne Greece » Thu Sep 09, 2010 7:45 am

The only base stealer I can rely on right now is Juan Pierre and I'm thinking of picking up Eric Young (eligible at 2B and OF) only as a utility guy to play once in a while to give me steals. He seems to get one in about every other game.

People I could drop are either Neil Walker or Ryan Raburn. OR I could drop Jose Reyes who has been dead weight on my roster. I have Tulowitzki at SS already.

thoughts?

leave a link and I'll get back to you

Assuming this is not a keeper league, dropping Reyes is not a bad idea.
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.

Agreed on Reyes. Sorry you have to cut someone like that, but this is the time for winning, so get winning ;-D

I'm still taking my time with it. I'm leaning slightly towards dropping Raburn just incase Reyes comes back, then I'd have 3 guys to give me big speed. But at the same time I just never ever know when Jose will go down with an injury.
