Playofs - Victorino & Swisher?

[Pav]

I know I can't drop Victorino. But he is just doing NOTHING for me and I can't afford to start an OF like this. Playoffs coming soon.

Come Monday I will pick up Murphy for Scutaro, and play Murphy except against lefties, and maybe my team will be better.
I will keep Altuve and Victorino on my bench.

Now, should I roll with Swisher over likes of Pagan....or maybe lesser extent Coco Crisp, Bryan LaHair?

Pagan, Lahair and Crisp are next to worthless in the long run. Swisher is very streaky but at least you know what you have. The same for Victorino. I would play it safe. I really do not think you are winning or losing on whether you drop Victorino for the likes of Crisp. Anything is possible, but trying to catch lightning in a bottle is just a bad play imo. More often than not you hurt yourself trying. Sometimes you just have to roll with the best players you have and hope you get lucky. My 2 cents.

Good point! Thanks

What about with my pitching staff?

Since I am in the playoffs weeks 22-24, what should I consider doing with Lester and Wandy?

Also, I need to drop Pestano. Just not sure for whom. Another SAVES or HOLDS player below?

Lopez, Cishek, Gregerso?

Neice, Harvey ?

What are my best options to be most competitive with this type of catergories we have?
