Bench one: Bruce, Melky, Papi

[yolksfolks]

Have Kemp coming back and he needs a spot. Have A. Jones at other OF position. Head to head and my opponent will almost definitely win SBs, which decreases Melky's value, though he's been on fire lately while Ortiz/Bruce have been ehh. Leaning towards throwing Bruce on the bench until Melky cools off.

This will all be so much easier when/if (*crosses fingers*) Ortiz gains first base eligibility.

I agree. Keep the hot hitter in. Personally, I can handle a guy like Bruce producing from the bench, but get really frustrated when I knowingly bench the hot bat whom goes on to have a great game.
