Dropping Kubel

[Pav]

Since July 25th, Kubel has really done nothing to benefit me and offer me points.

Since there is only 2 weeks left of our season then playoffs, I am considering dropping him.

I think it's best seeking players on teams in the playoff hunt.

Which would be your top 3 on FA by preference?

I am leaning Swisher, Ross, Jay, then Belt

H2H mixed, weekly: W-L-T
Cats: R, H, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, TB, A, FPCT, AVG, OPS, CYC, OFA
Playoffs are: Week 22, 23 and 24

I like your my roster as constructed. Scutaro makes sense for me as a bench player...since he HITS, been good and consistent. Also, great flexibility so valuable..

FA
Jon Jay (StL - OF)
Desmond Jennings (TB - OF)
Nick Swisher (NYY - 1B,OF)
Andy Dirks (Det - OF)
Brandon Belt (SF - 1B,OF)
Cody Ross (Bos - OF)

Roster
C Jonathan Lucroy (Mil - C)
1B Adrián González (Bos - 1B,OF)
2B José Altuve (Hou - 2B)
3B Edwin Encarnación (Tor - 1B,3B)
SS Elvis Andrus (Tex - SS)
OF Matt Holliday (StL - OF)
OF Shane Victorino (LAD - OF)
OF Eric Young (Col - 2B,OF)
Util Marco Scutaro (SF - 2B,3B,SS)

BN Evan Longoria (TB - 3B)
BN Jason Kubel (Ari - OF)

he had a 2-hr game less than a week ago.

This is a rather hasty decision. But if you're dead set on dropping him, I'd target Desmond Jennings. He's on fire.

And I would drop Eric Young and Marco Scutaro far sooner than Kubel, no matter how bad Kubel is slumping. The guy absolutely murders the ball.

If you drop Kubel before Scutaro then throw in the towel

Thanks for the response.

That's funny.

I don't think he would be the reason I lose.

Our league is a different beast with 25 categories.

A hit counts x5: H, 1b/2b/3b, TB

H, TB, AVG in this league are big since a HIT counts x5

Let me ask this - why is it that I have Kubel on the trade block, have offered him to each 11 teams in the league, and no one wants him? And I mean not even in a package. lol

[michaelyoung4prez]

Earlier in the season I put him and several other OF's on the block looking for SP and RP. He gets hated on because he isn't a sexy name, even though when he got PT in Minnesota he crushed. He has a great park for him to hit in and has a starting gig. Don't sell low or drop him, just don't.

Scutaro should be in a committee now that Panda is back, I just wouldn't advise dropping Kubel over Scutaro

[MrBulky]

Agree with above posts. Just because other teams won't trade for him doesn't mean they have no interest in him. But i guarantee if you drop him EVERY one of those 11 owners would put in a waiver on him. Don't drop; he's one of those streaky players. Gotta take the good with the bad if you start him every week. His home/road splits are pretty uneven, too. perhaps you could play him when he's at home.
