Done. I have Bruce on the bench, as well as Swisher. Do I drop one of them to get a SS because Bartlett is hurt?

:cool: Close, but no cigar. I was thinking of dropping Wolf for awhile.

I'm not big on Swisher, not huge on Bruce either. IF you don't have a SS it would depend on the options out there, scoring, league depth, keeper, trade options etc.

Bartlett is my only option and he's hurt. My OF is under performing, Granderson just came back, I picked up Soriano the very reason I picked up Glaus, because he was hot. It came back to bite me. Might just drop Soriano to get Cabrera, it may be a keeper next year. Esocbar and Cabrera are the only SS I would consider adding via FA.

If it's going to be a keeper next year push for a fresh draft, not keeping players from this year. I hate that.

If you're not gonna put Soriano in the OF every day, I'd pick up Cabrera to put in, he won't hurt you as much as some others.

Oh and everyone realizes my only Fantasy baseball credentials are:

Being 12th of 12 in my 14 Cat League....


(And beating Planet like a red headed step child).

Well, right now Soriano is one my starting OFers. So, I'm looking at dropping him or Swisher/Bruce.

I just look at the ZIPS predictions from Fangraphs, historical splits (are they second half players?), what kind of team they are on and how I expected them to do going forward. I personally, without research, like Swisher the least of the three.
