Should I drop Kenley Jensen and/or David Ortiz?

With Kenley Jensen out till Sept 17th now, would it make sense to drop him to add bench depth or another SP?

If you're way ahead in saves and close in holds, it makes sense to drop Jensen for a setup man.

I say hold on to KJ. He'll be back in 10 days. He's still throwing bullpen sessions, so he should be fairly sharp when he comes back. I don't think you should weaken a cat that you are sure to win (saves). Remember, all you need to do in the playoffs is is win 1 more cat than your opponent. If you look at your team and are sure that you can win X cats, don't weaken one of them just to TRY and win another. They all count the same. For example, in a 10 cat league, winning 6-4 is just as good as winning 10-0 in the playoffs. If you try a pick up holds and weaken saves you could end up losing 4-6 instead of that 6-4 win.

Ortiz is out for the rest of the season in all likelihood. He is an easy cut in all but the deepest of keeper leagues. I would hold onto Jansen as he should be back in 10 days. I tend to doubt there is anything fantastic on your wire so unless Ks is really tight and you can move up by adding a spot starter for a couple of starts and get maybe 10 extra Ks out of it, I would not bother.
