Hey Guys! I'm in a 10 team H2H Redraft league and am getting a bit concerned with team. My pitching has held up good so far posting 2-3 eras in all three series' so far. On the other hand my hitting has me concerned and I'm wondering what i should do with my team. Who to drop/trade anything. Should I be worried so far??????
Stat Cats: AVG, HR, RBI, R, SB, OBP and W, IP, K, SV, ERA, WHIP
My Team: C-Miguel Montero 1B-Adam Dunn 2B-Dustin Pedroia SS-Hanley Ramirez 3B-Pedro Alveraz OF-Andrew McCutchen OF-Jay Bruce OF-Juan Pierre UTL-Adam Lind UTL-Pablo Sandoval BN-Martin Prado BN- Ryan Zimmerman DL-Kendry Morales
SP-Cole Hamels RP-Heath Bell RP-Drew Storen P-Tommy Hanson P-Jordan Walden P-Sean Burnett P-Brett Myers BN-Jordan Zimmerman BN-Jorge De La Rosa BN-Ted Lilly BN-Michael Pineida BN-Kyle Drabek DL-Brian Matusz
Pedro Alvarez and Adam Lind are the first two names I would look to get rid of. Alvarez could bounce back but he's been horrible this year. I still have him on my bench, but rarely if ever start him. Depending on how deep your free agents are, you should be able to find better replacements. Your pitching should continue to hold up alright, but I might try to bundle a couple together to get a top of the rotation guy. Lots of people like Pineida these days. Zimmerman might still be out for a bit, but he's a good option at 3B when he comes back.
First thing I would do is get Prado in your lineup over Alvarez if he is 3B eligible in your league. Whenever K Mor. gets back that will also be an upgrade over Lind in your utility spot if you choose to do so. I completely agree with the above poster on everything, look for Pineda and other guys who are hitting better compared to Alvarez who may be on the WW. You should be fine once you get Zimm and Morales back.
Not sure why you still have Burnett. Looks like Storen should be getting the saves, but if there are names like Francisco, Boggs, Farnsworth, or Aardsma on the WW, they will help out more than the Nats closers will.
i would worry too much. Hanley will improve, Morales and Zimmerman will start playing on those 2 will be a big lift to you batting cats HR, RBI, BA), Id look to move Lind though and maybe bench Alvarez while he's slumping...who are available FA in WW?

On the WW there is a few decent closers who would you choose, you could rate them in order.
Matt Caps David Aarsma John Axford Joe Nathan Matt Thornton Chris Sale Frank Francisco Mitchell Boggs
Pick two or three whom you'd like and please explain why.

All these guys are on your waiver wire? Weird. Anyway you should immediately pick up Boggs, Capps, and Axford (In that order).
I'd not panic and for now just drop Burnett and pickup Capps. Then watch for direct FA replacements for Alvarez and Lond; players like fuld and lowrie for example.
