Im in a 11 team head to head points league non keeper.
I picked up Furcal off waivers a couple weeks ago but he has not been great. Should I take a chance on a FA?
Available FA:
JJ Hardy
Danny Espinosa
Josh Rutledge
Alexei Ramirez
Luis Cruz
Johnny Peralta
Thanks WHIR

JJ Hardy
(Alcides Escobar)
Furcal
Danny Espinosa & Alexei Ramirez & Johnny Peralta
Josh Rutledge
This is how I would rank them. Hardy is picking it up. He's a good source of power. Keep you eye on Rutledse though. Check and see if Alcides Escobar is owned in your league.
Help with mine?

Given your point structure, I would have to rearrage my ranking. Currently, I like Espinosa for his steals and power. But while he's improving, his numbers againt right-handed batters aren't that good. But he's on a good streak right now.

I would currently go with Espinosa. He's hot right now. However, keep an eye on him, as he's streaky and when he goes cold, cut him loose. If you think you need power, then clearly Hardy would be the way to go, as an alternative, but if you're looking for balance, Espinosa would be the best current option at least for his current hot streak. Alexei Ramirez is solid, but unspectacular (more consistent) as is Furcal, so those are two good fallback options for when Espinosa starts to struggle.
Can you help me?
