Need to replace Doumit....

#1 Post by jkadagio »

So I read today Doumit will be out 8-10 weeks due to a wrist injury.

12 Team 5X5 Mixed Roto.

I don't see alot of options on my WW, but recognize these options as possibilities:

I Rodriguez
K Suzuki
R Hernandez

My first thought is to grab Suzuki. I'm looking to get a guy that sees a reasonable # of AB's, and hits for reasonable average. I'm not so concerned about power at this point.

Thoughts?

Grumble -- I just went through my teams and have to replace Doumit on 4 rosters -- grumble grumble

Pudge probably best for BA
Hernandez for power
Suzuki for mix of both

Suzuki would be my choice right now. While he doesn't have any RBI, he's at least hitting the ball reasonably well.

Aw, 4 out of 40 isn't all that bad, Todd. :-)

Sadly, it's actually 20 :roll:

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Wish I could have had Suzuki's 4-4 in my mineup last night. That would have been a good way to kick things off....

What do we know about Doumit replacement. Have him in a 15 team nfbc so the pickings are slim.
