I want to drop Lynn for gurriel.. I like the upside and I’m always trying to be one of the first on waiver adds. Any thoughts much appreciated.

What upside? Reports have Lourdes Gurriel's power and speed potential very tepid. Points leagues are all about counting stats - I don't see it. Twins have been crushed by weather and travel. Lynn will get innings, whiffs and wins, all integral to points.

Your team, your call.

Got it. I read they liked his versatility allowing to see many at bats. Guess that shouldn’t necessarily translate to upside. I never added LG.

Thinking cj cron in place of Zimmerman. Thoughts on either? Zimmerman has disappointed and cron is hot now. I’ve been patient with Zimmerman. That’s baseball right?

[Todd Zola]

Not a fan of riding hot streaks since they're non predictive, however, Cron playing every day, hitting second justifies making the switch. If Cron is available now, chances are there will be someone available to replace Cron if necessary.
