HELP: Should I pick up any of these players? 

Post#1 » by TMU » Sat Jun 13, 2009 6:07 am

Someone in my league dropped:
Russell Martin (C, 3B) - POOR PERFORMANCE
Carlos Quentin (OF) - INJURED
Alexei Ramirez (2B, SS, OF) - POOR PERFORMANCE

Should I pick up any of the above players? I know I should replace Varitek with Martin, but I'm not sure about the other two.



This is what my team looks like:
H2H, 10 teams, and my team has weak batting stats...

BATTERS
C - Jason Varitek (C)
1B - James Loney (1B)
2B - Mark DeRosa (2B, 3B, SS)
3B - Mike Lowell (3B)
SS - Marco Scutaro (2B, 3B, SS)
OF - Ichiro Suzuki (OF)
OF - Bobby Abreu (OF)
OF - Luke Scott (OF)
UTIL - Brian Roberts (2B)
BN - Paul Konerko (1B)
BN - Jose Reyes (SS) - INJURED
BN - Manny Ramirez (OF) - SUSPENDED

PITCHERS
SP - Johan Santana (SP)
SP - Matt Garza (SP)
RP - Francisco Rodriguez (RP)
RP - Chad Qualls (RP)
P - Scott Downs (RP)
P - Frank Francisco (RP)
P - Andrew Bailey (RP)
BN - Josh Johnson (SP)
BN - Chad Billingsley (SP)
DL - Scott Kazmir (SP)


Thanks.

Martin wouldn't be owned in 10% of leagues if he wasn't a catcher. With that in mind, he's still more reliable than Varitek in a full season. Your hitting needs a huge makeover (more specifically your infield). Alexei Ramirez should be picked up without any hesitation. Scutaro can be let go IMO.

Just noticed you are in a 10-team league. Batting woes indeed.
