Need a replacement for Rutledge/Utley

#1 Post by tybs »

12 team, 5 X 5 roto league. Currently middle of pack in all offensive cats except runs where I'm third. Lost Rutledge to AAA and expect to lose Utley to DL when his MRI results are released. Dan Murphy and K. Johnson were both claimed in the past few days (figures). Espinosa, Uggla, Bonifacio, M. Ellis, Rayburn, Ry. Roberts, Galvis and LeMahieu are BA FA's. Judging by season to date AB's, the only two who play nearly every day are Uggla and Ellis (just off DL), but Galvis and LeMahieu should be every day players for as long as Utley is out and Rutledge remains in the minors. Any thoughts on who to pick up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

When Ellis plays, he plays sneakily well. LeMahieu is indeed going to get full time run (for now).

if you need a little of everything I'd take Ellis and hope Utley is back before Ellis hits the DL again. if you want some empty BA, them LeMahieu.

IF you can DL Utley then Galvis looks like the right choice
