I’ve dug pretty deep.

Is Shields worth holding on to? I have him (and Speier) but already have Mike Gonzalez in my DL slot.

If your league is quick to the waiver wire and Kouz might get snatched, I'd hold pat.

The guy can mash when healthy (I know, when has that happened for more than a month) and he's gonna hit in the middle of the line-up in that bandbox of a ballpark with guys like Kinsler and Young setting the table. Is he worth a bench spot currently held by Kouzmanoff? I have Sizemore, Rios and Hamilton in the 3 OF spots and Thome in the Utility spot. I'm itching to make a move since I already have Miggy Cabrera at 3B and Kouzmanoff has had a horrible spring (and a notoriously slow start last year).

I said it *might* play like Coors East, not to be misunderstood with the similar *will* play like Coors East. But a lot of people have said the parking garages behind the outfield could act as a wind tunnel blowing out or in. If they're blowing out, that's a gamble worth taking off of waivers or very late in a draft. Thanks. And much love.
