Who should I drop?

by jwjc11 on Feb 14, 2008 10:26 PM EST

I have to free up one roster spot and I can't chose between 2 of my young utility 2B. I have Maicer Izturis 2B and 3B eligible, once he starts 6 games at SS he will be eligible there as well. the other is Danny Richar only eligible at 2B.

I feel that Izturis is a better player but that he will get less playing time with Kendrick back at 2B and B. Wood covering 3B and SS.

I am intrigued with the unknown with Richar. He showed some power last year and weather he starts at 2B or not I see him getting more playing time than Izturis.

The league scoring is all offense.

Dude

How deep is this league? Is there any reason to keep either? There has to be better available.

I know

I only have 3 draft picks. There are 13 teams, with 40 man rosters & that does include prospects.

I HOPE to be replacing the one I drop with Mark Ellis and there are no other starting 2B in the FA pool. The league starts a 2B and a middle infielder. I start Fleipe Lopez2B, Yunel Escobar SS and Brendan Harris MI. Ellis will be a good pick up for me but I need at least 2 bench players for insurance.

How

In a 13 team league are you starting Lopez, Escobar, and Harris?

I would drop Richar

While Izturis is not going to tear it up, I like that offense and opportunity much better than Richar's. Plus, living in Chicago there is a ton of talk about sliding Uribe to 2B, another classic White Sox move.

By the way, I am in a 16-team, NL-only, 40 man roster team league. For those of you ripping the league described here, maybe you should try some real fantasy baseball someday where these decisions do decide a champion instead of your "All-Star" leagues. Much more challenging and requires a deeper knowledge of rosters, player opportunites, and minor league prospects. But maybe you like debating Reyes or Ramirez all day.

Mixed

"Only" leagues sure are fun but, this league is a 13 team mixed league

Wow ,I have never been so ruffed up on this site.

Let me defend my team. I came in 3ed place last year. Like I said, the scoring is all offense/pitching and there are NOT a lot of offensive threats covering the middle infield. I know there are some, but they are hard to come by. My focus is OF, 1B and pitching. Sorry that my MI is not up to par with what some of you feel it should be. I was simply looking for advice with these two players, and trying to improve the MI. Thanks to those that did vote.
