Fantasy Help?

Question

I have lugo and loretta on my roster and i'm currently staring Loretta, mainly because he's playing KC.

Edmonds or Monroe (monroe is hot with a 14 game hitting streak)

Should i pick up Saito from the dodgers? and if i do who should i drop? These are some pitchers i might be willing to drop to get him. F. Cordero Cl.Lee (Cle), J.Lester(Bos) MBatista(AZ)

Sorry i forgot to finish my first question, who should i star Lugo or Loretta?

Should i drop Alou and pick up Monroe?

Answer 1

Stick with Loretta for the time being and trade Lugo now while he has value at 2B and SS. Even though the Dodgers are on a ten-game winning streak, Lugo hasn't benefit from the offense, mostly because he's moving from one spot to the next in the lineup (the Dodgers already have Furcal and Lofton set on 1 and 2 in the lineup and Grady Little likes the traditional power player to be on the 3,4,5 in the batting lineup). With Garciaparra coming back soon, Lugo role is in question because of the infield logjam and Lugo might be the odd-man out once the infield is healthy, so trade him now while you can get value.

Although he's having a down year, I still choose Edmonds over Monroe. Sure Monroe lead the Tigers in RBI last year, but this is a different Tigers team from a year before. Jim Leyland likes to ride the hot hand (ex. Marcus Thames, Chris Shelton) before they cool off and Monroe is no different. Eventually, he's going to get bench in favor of someone else. Edmonds has the benefit of Pujols and Rolen in the lineup, so he doesn't feel the same pressure as Monroe has right now.

Not because I'm a Dodger fan, but you should pick up Saito for the time being. With Eric Gagne gone for the season (and possibly with the team) and Baez traded to Atlanta, the closer job is his for the taking and he's excelling it. With the Dodger 10-game winning streak, he's bound to have some save opportunites just about now. Broxton is next in line if Saito falters but Little doesn't want to rush the young pitcher into the role just yet. If I had to dump someone for Saito, it would be M Batista. Sure he's a good pitcher, but he's past his prime and playing half his game in a hitters ballpark and I don't see him playing well enough.

Answer 2

Lugo and Loretta are pretty equal so youre not gonna win or lose by who you chose there. Second, you should add Saito. Hes gonna get saves and is the closer for at least this year. Cordero now is the setup man so that not good but if turnbow keeps struggling he could get the job. Batista? has he done anything making him worth keeping?

Answer 3

Leave Saito on the Waivers, especially if you already got 2 decent closers.
Monroe's gonna fizzle here right away, I'd put in Edmonds.
And I don't know about Lugo, Loretta. I've got Lugo on the bench in my league. Not consistent. Keep on with Loretta I'd say.
Good Luck

Answer 4

Get Saito, the dodgers are on a roll and could be hot for a month or more, drop Cliff Lee even though he is a one of my favorites he is not putting up numbers with the tribe. Edmonds is my choice , as is Loretta.

Answer 5

monroe
