A. Jones is normally a starter for me I just benched him that day because I had a feeling, he's not too good against pitchers he's never faced and that's who he was playing that day. Also Piazza (totally butchered his name I think) was my catcher from the draft and then he got hurt, actually I've lost 10 players to the DL this season already and so my draft and my current team don't looks the same at all anymore :)

First of all why is harris starting at 2nd and Upton is on your bench? That solves one of your 3rd base issues, Upton should be veiwed as your everyday 2nd baseman. As for the other 3, all are productive (ignore the Teahen bashers, he got off to a slow start but now is hitting very nicely). Why dump one of them and let someone pick up a quality player for free? One thing to remember is that as long as Chipper is on your tream you need a backup, he has a long injury history so ride the bat while he plays and keep a backup handy at all times. If you feel the need to make a deal then offer up a couple of guys and see if you can land a SS, Lugo is solid but if you can nab a top hitter at SS you could move Lugo to 2nd (maybe use Upton as part of your trade bait). You have a pretty solid lineup....might look at a SS with stolen base potential so maybe offer up a guy or 2 for some pitching (dont know how your pitching is but it looks like you spent the top half of the draft on bats).

Your 2B should be Upton, not Harris.
Lowell is on a tear right now so you may want to look to trade him now for a category that you're week in. You could then move C. Jones back to third and put A. Jones at DH, (one night going 0-4 does not mean you bench a guy who can hit 40+ HRs!!!!!).
Teahan isn't all that bad and he is eligible at a couple of positions so keeping him won't hurt you, (he's about the only thing KC has). Upton is about to be eligible to play the OF also so you could possibly drop Teahan to the minors for the hottest bat down there or a fifth SP.

I would trade Upton. He is a great sell due to his power. But, what most people don't know about him is that he strikes out a lot. He and Adam Dunn probably have the most strikeouts in the league. I would not drop Teahen, especially if you are in a keeper league. He is just getting better every game that he plays.
If you drop anyone, than drop Lowell. He has good power, but he is a little inconsistent. Plus, Upton and Teahen play more positions than Lowell, so that is always a good bonus.

I wouldn't drop any of them if I were you. Instead, trade them. Try to get a productive catcher for Teahen or Upton, or you could get a backup for Harris. I don't think it would be a bad idea to trade both Upton and Teahen for a premier catcher or 2B.

Teahan for sure lowell is in a powerful lineup,Chipper is having a great year after a slow start. Upton's ok

Teahen. Why would you have anyone on the Kansas City Royals on a fantasy team.

ditch harris as your 2b and put upton there, and teahen isn't worth keeping so that solves your problem
