Bench thoughts after draft

#1 Post by MaestroJay »

5x5 Roto 12 team (avg) 1400 IP

C - Contreras
1B - Goldschmidt
2B - Albies
3B - Devers
SS - Story
OF - Blackmon/Marte/Polanco
UTIL - Kinsler/Zimmer
BN - Bell/M.Chapman
BN - Rosario/Torres

SP - Strausburg/Severino
RP - Rivero/Treinen
P - Godley/S.Gray/Lamet/Faria
BN - J.Montgomery

Looking at my offense. I potentially need another OFer for schedule purposes. From having 2 Pirates. Of the two backup SS Torres is more droppable. However, the question is would it be better to drop Torres for an OFer now. Letting Lamet/Faria be the only swappable SP slots? This is next day pickup. So can't just use 1 of the three slots to take advantage of any sits that day. Which is why I'm leaning the way I am. Is this the right line of thinking?

Assuming daily moves, I'd drop Torres and try to find someone 1b/of so you can drop Bell for another arm.

It's next day moves not same day.

As far as 1B/OF Belt, Jose Martinez, Matt Adams, are really the only 3 worth considering. Beyond that it's guys like Lind,Valencia,Pearce,Descalaso. Which is why I'm looking at the 1B/OF depth in 2 seperate slots. Belt's health history concerns me with him. Which is why I went Bell.

Kepler,Reddick,Choo,Altherr,Piscotty,Dickerson,Pierla are available at OF. Think Bell and 1 of these are better options than Belt/SP. As I may get the SP stream slot from Faria. If his spring start rolls over into the season.
