My starting catcher, Ryan Doumit, just came off of the DL and I need to drop someone.

I'm torn between who to get rid of.

It's between

Luke Scott OF
.305 avg 18HR 51RBI 39R 0 Steals

Matt Holliday OF
.276 avg 8HR 43RBI 42R 10 Steals

Kurt Suzuki C
.293 avg 5HR 37RBI 39R 4 Steals

I have some outfielders that I can play:

C Granderson, J Ellsbury, Felipe Lopez, Ben Zobrist,

but no other backup catcher.

What do you think?

Is it roto? if so - post your entire team and your total stats for your league (for each individual category) if you can... i'd be able to give you a better picture.

if it's h2h post ur entire team.

Matt Holliday is just too valuable to drop... you can probably trade for him....scott is bound to come back to earth -- but i wouldn't drop him for nothing... maybe trade?

Kurt Suzuki has put up very acceptable #s for a catcher... Zobrist and Ellsbury are fantastic... lopez qualifies for multiple positions... granderson has pop but a miserable average....

you have to play to your weaknesses... if Suzuki is just going to be a spot starter in catcher i'd drop him - but I wouldn't trust a guy coming off of a wrist injury who had "eh" numbers before he got hurt... much of hitting is in the wrists.... you may want to drop RD....

Thanks Al!

It's H2H.

I totally agree with your assessment. It's really hard to make a decision right now though. RD had some good numbers last year but it's hard to say about this year since he's been hurt. Suzuki has filled in decently but I want more power.

Here's my team. I'm in second place right now.

Kurt Suzuki
Miguel Cabrera
Chase Utley
Felipe López
Ben Zobrist
Curtis Granderson
Matt Holliday
Jacoby Ellsbury
Aaron Hill
Luke Scott
Derrek Lee
Ryan Doumit

Yovani Gallardo
Clayton Kershaw
Francisco Rodríguez
Heath Bell
J.P. Howell
Sean West
Johnny Cueto
Edwin Jackson
David Price
Edinson Vólquez

I'm planning on getting rid of Sean West and picking up Homer Bailey since West got demoted.

There are 12 teams. I'm thinking if Holliday gets traded to a better hitter's park then he might put up numbers closer to his past. There isn't a lot of trading done in the league. I guess I can post him up but I'll still need to get rid of someone. It's risky to get rid of Suzuki bc Doumit hasn't proven he's back yet but I think the upside is better with Doumit.
