I’m looking to drop either Granderson or Upton so I can pick up Boxberger, saves are a category I’ve been consistently losing in H2H and both of those guys have been sitting on my bench while I wait for them to get good again. Do either of these guys have any value left in them? Would you drop one before the other?

If you’re talking about Justin Upton, I’d have a hard time dropping him already. Gotta wait another month or so. Granderson has a nice floor but if he’s on your bench then I imagine that kind of player (or close) is available if you need to replace.
