Roster management advice?
Ok, I've got a couple guys coming off the DL over the next few weeks meaning I have to drop some guys.. I thought I'd ask here to see if others would come up with the same strategy I did. Standard 5x5 HtH Keeper league (5 keepers at end of year FWIW)
C Miguel Montero 1B Joey Votto 2B Rickie Weeks 3B Pablo Sandoval SS Jose Reyes OF Alfonso Soriano OF Carlos Lee OF Matt Kemp UTIL Lance Berkman BENCH Chone Figgins BENCH Buster Posey BENCH Denard Span SP Zack Greinke SP Justin Verlander SP David Price SP Mat Latos SP Mike Pelfrey SP Johnny Cueto SP Mike Leake SP Trevor Cahill SP Kris Medlen SP Brandon Morrow RP Jon Rauch RP Kevin Gregg RP Matt Lindstrom I usually like having as small a bench of position players as possible to hopefully have more (good) pitchers take the mound over the course of a week.. I have SP Brett Anderson & SP Erik Bedard looking to return from the DL shortly, any advice on who to drop? |

Re: Roster management advice?
Is Leake going to be one of your keepers? With the Reds limiting his innings, and pitches, I don't think he is a very good second half fantasy option.
I wouldn't clear space for Bedard unless I had to. I want to see what he looks like. I had Bedard on my DL at the start of the season, but I quickly needed the spot. Give him a few starts at the major league level on the DL, if league rules allow. He is rumored to be trade bait if he can show he has the ability to get people out. So he could quickly move to a contender.

Get rid of Figgins. Good God, he's terrible. And Leake to make room for Bedard.

Re: Roster management advice?
I didn't like the idea of having multiple catchers, and since I wasn't going to keep either I went with dropping Posey for my initial move (which in retrospect looks like a mistake after this week, hopefully Montero can be pretty good from here on out) I did finally get tired of Figgins though, and dropped him today.. I think Morrow may be the next out, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on Leake & may be letting him go as well soon
