• WHIP - Composite pitching ratio of walks and hits to innings pitched (RATIO = (BB + H)/IP)

I need to cut two (2) players from below. I know Pujols, Ramirez, are a lock to keep but i need some help.

My Team:
1B A. Pujols (StL - 1B)
2B D. Uggla (Fla - 2B)
SS R. Furcal (LAD - SS)
2B,SS F. López (Was - 2B,SS)
OF M. Ramírez(Bos - OF)
SP E. Santana(LAA - SP)
RP J. Zumaya (Det - RP)
SP J. Schmidt (SF - SP)
SP C. Hamels (Phi - SP)
SP J. Peavy (SD - SP)

So far so good but most people are saying to drop Zumaya. I am not just keeping him for saves! Zumaya is a top tier Holds Guy. soon to be top saves guy. i agree with most of you about lopez. i will drop lopez. NEED ONE MORE PLAYER TO DROP

Answer 1

Definitely Felipe Lopez. He is a very good player, but he is alone in DC right now and you have the positions covered. I actually like most of your pitchers, so I might risk Furcal. Otherwise, I would let either Hamels or Santana go (in that order).

Answer 2

I would drop Zumaya because he is just a reliever and until Todd Jones retires or gets hurt, he will not pick up saves or many wins. The other player I would drop is Lopez. Past the few top players at those positions, middle infielders are a dime a dozen and you can always pick up a good one that has major upside (Jesse Barfield?)

Answer 3

Cut Cole Hamels and Zumaya. Both of those guys will be available in the later rounds if you really want them. Everyone else is pretty much a must. My third choice would be Felipe Lopez.

Answer 4

I would get rid of Lopez and Schmidt. Schmidt is not the player he once was. Santana and Hamels are young and can only get better. Schmidt has also lost some zip on his fastball making him a little easier to hit.

Answer 5

I would get rid of Lopez and Santana. You already have your 2nd and SS pos covered so Lopez is redundant and Santana may get you some wins but his ERA wasn't great and you can get him back in the draft or pick up someone of equal or better value.

Answer 6

Hamels would be your weak link regarding your pitchers. Without Soriano in Washington anymore, Lopez won't have the numbers he did last year

Answer 7

I would cut Hamels and Furcal.
