I’m in the finals of my H2H league. The finals are 2 weeks long. Should I bench Latos his next start?

By: Grey

@BSA: Eh, I'd hold him. @Turkey Teeth: Perez over Valverde... Valencia over Peralta would be my moves. In a redraft, you can drop Garcia, but not sure you have the moves for it. ********THERE'S A NEW POST FOR FOLLOWUPS.********

In the championship here. 7×6 Daily H2H, (R, HR, RBI, AVG, OBP, S, K) and (W, L, SV, WHIP, ERA, K) and we’re allowed two moves per week. I have one left. Who do you see adding the most value to this team:

C: Montero
1B: AGon
2B: Brian Roberts
SS: JJ Hardy
3B: Jhonny
OF: Grandy, Braun, CarGo
2UTIL: Stubbs, Tabata
BN: Eric Young, Kelly Johnson

SP: Cahill, J Chacin, Kershaw, Niemann, Price, Gio Gonzalez, Jaime Garcia
CL: Uehara, Valverde, Soriano

We’re only allowed 2 RP slots, so I’m using Uehara in my SP slot to give me 3 closers. Opponent has two closers, so Valverde isn’t hurting me yet.

Due to our move limits, I haven’t had the ability to drop Jaime or Niemann. I already used one to replace Rollins.

So…the question is who upgrades me the most? What I’m pondering is:
Carlos Ruiz for Montero
Valencia over Peralta
or
Betemit over Peralta
Chris Perez over Valverde

Also, would dropping Garcia be the right call, regardless of who I pick up (unless it’s Perez)?

@Grey: That being said, 16 wins and respectable Ks, ERA, and WHIP made for a pretty good ride. Is he a guy that should be owned 100% probably not. Even now my finger is on the trigger for dropping him. Which means my sticking with him may burn me in the end.

Grey — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:26:51 +0000

@bsa: Yeah, his numbers were saying he was lucky and his last month has shown that.

By: bsa

I know, you haven’t trusted him all year. He sure was good for the WHIP and ERA.

@XNadyMen: Can't start Latos right now. I'd start the other two.

My lead is toast in my league…so sad…but gotta keep fighting…Good Spot starts with Baker and JDeLaRos?

Is Latos going to bounce back? that last start was ugly.

@sucklingduck: All rules and such should be decided in the preseason. I'd be annoyed too.

Hey everyone, what are ur thoughts on chopping up pots. There’s a couple of people in my league who threw a fit as soon as it got mentioned. I was just interested in ur guys take on it.

By: bsa

bsa — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:58:25 +0000

@Grey: yes. 9 back. Al is 4 behind me. my sp rotation is thudson, king felix, waino, big z, and cahill. I can gain points in w and k. we'll see.

@Eddy: And Niese was rocked by FLA, not his last start. I gotta start proofreading my damn comments.

By: Eddy

Eddy — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:34:49 +0000

@Eddy: And the "same as sanchez" comment next to Blackburn, ignore it. I had previously written Anibal's start vs the Mets as suggested by borderline starter, but it's Sanabia.

By: Eddy

Eddy — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:33:58 +0000

@Grey:
Hey Grey, which SP do you like for tomorrow?

Niese @FLA (got rocked for 7 ER last time)
Nick Blackburn vs CLE (same as sanchez)
Carlos Carrasco @MIN (very risky but he shut down MIN on the 11th)
Drabek vs SEA (David Pauley is on the other end. Easy win?)

Btw, nothing’s coming to me but I’m sure you can use this video of a perv kitty in a much better way than I ever could:

@Grey: I figured that. That jackass can break out any freakin day. I hope it's sometime during these last 2 weeks. My opponent in the finals has CarGo, Holliday, Mauer(hope he's out a while), Heyward, Prado. So, his hitting is stacked. Need all the offense I can get. My team started off 14/37 the week..........but 13 of those hits were singles! I see Zobrist is coming back to life, 2 straight multi-hit games with a double. I'm still kicking myself for drafting Prince instead of Cabrera, and Zobrist over Cano. The guy who drafted after me took the 2 guys I didn't, and rode in 1st place the whole season. But, he got rolled in the 1st round. Damn fool was talking mad trash the whole year and I told him, it doesn't matter where you are now, it's the final standings that count. He posted a message yesterday saying I was right... Sorry for the long semi-rant, I got a lot on my mind.

@ThE sHiT: I wouldn't bench Prince ever.

@Grey: BTW, good morning! Very gloomy today, but still a beautiful day...

@Grey: Do you ever bench a stud like Prince? He’s been pretty bad last couple weeks. I need someone that is producing in his spot.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:16:36 +0000

@Enrique: Morning! Coke, Sale, Perry, Breslow... @Christopher: Yeah, lose him. @Child Please: Agree with O... @Wilsonian: Scherzer... Hensley, Rodney, Koji... Betemit, Valencia, Guillen... Betancourt... Murphy, Guillen, Ethier... @BSA: Nice... You still in 2nd? @paddytwotimes: Wow... Thanks for the heads up! @Erock: Agree with Tony. @Barry Heanbag: Pelfrey, Volquez...

By: Tony

Tony — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:37:36 +0000

@Erock: keep the studs, if you throw them back you're maybe getting 1 of them back? they're all essentially 1st rounders and you're getting one of them in the 2nd and one in the 3rd.... no brainer.... hudson, sanchez, and morrow will all be there later.

By: Barry Heanbag

Barry Heanbag — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:44:10 +0000

Hey Grey, can you please rate these three for streaming today…

Volquez @ Mil
Pelfrey @ Fla
Lannan vs Hou

Thanks.

By: Erock

Erock — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:42:18 +0000

Hey Grey — I need some keeper advice. Should I keep Braun, Longoria, and Teixeira, which will cost me my 1st to 3rd round picks, or Buchholz, Daniel Hudson, and Filthy Sanchez/Morrow, which will cost me my 13th, 15th, and 16th rounders. Apologies if this is a ridiculous question. Thanks.

Hanley has been pulling a Reyes ’09 in my SS spot.
It was nice of Steve to drop Granderson – I can use a balanced outfielder this week.
I weathered last week’s blah team performance – lets go “averages” and work in my favor this week – I got Al Koholic coming up my butt.
Valencia and Betemit have paid dividends already to help me keep pace.

Couple of different leagues here, so it might look a bit redundant in parts…Rank for tomorrow (and possibly for the next week and a half-ish):

Scherzer v. KC or Cueto @ Mil?

Hensley, Rodney, Koji, white powdery susbtance?

Bruce, Guillen, Betemit, Chris Johnson, Valencia?

Tejada or Betancourt?

Bruce, Guillen, Murphy, Ethier?

Thanks, as always man…

12-team H2H 6×6 (OBP, QS)
We have a moves limit of 50 (I am at 45)…Would you use one of your moves to add Valencia over Walker?
