+1

You already have 5 good SP, w/ only 6 pos players so def no more pitching unless you it was just to good to say no. You need 5 OF spots and Manny is declining, so you’ll need some guys to keep instead of him next year and rasmus/snider have the potential to really lift you up in the future.

Rasmus & Pence

you need 5 OF, you only have three, and one of them is Manny. unless you’re fairly certain someone better will fall to you in the re-draft, those would be my choices

I would drop

Rajai Davis, Josh Willingham.

Davis is a much lesser Michael Bourn, more like Njyger Morgan, and Willingham, as much I like him is only a part time player.

To add and keep: Bourn+ Rasmus

Michael Bourn and Colby Rasmus.

Bourn has improved dramatically and I believe it’s for real and he is an automatic 30 steals. Colby Ramus because he’s got 20-20 potential. Snider doesn’t steal any bases, so he won’t give you more than potentially three categories.

Lilly is coming off of a shoulder surgery and is still in his rehabilitation phase

Given his age and the risk involved with pitchers that have shoulder issues, I wouldn’t keep Lilly given the other options available here.

Cut & Add, two bits

What about dropping Manny and Baker while keeping Pence, Rasmus, Snider, and AsCab?

Reyes?

his health is a question mark.

Also, I’d cut Manny too unless you’re going for it. When his contract’s on the line, he’s as good as there is. But when it’s not, you can’t be sure if he’ll show up

rasmus is obviously everyone's choice

and i think snider is a good pick, but personally i liked what i saw from julio borbon a lot, i don’t play roto so obviously my “value” will be a little skewed and i don’t know exactly what standard 5X5 means, we just do fantasy points, but if you look at the games borbon started last season he was quite good and i don’t just mean for a rookie, if he leads off for the rangers he doesn’t have to do a whole lot to be a damn good fantasy player because that lineup makes me want to throw up…if i knew I couldn’t win soon I’d probably consider dropping manny like the one guy said and keep snider, rasmus and borbon…of course the same guy questioned keeping one of the top 3 offensive players in fantasy too
