I drafted JD Martinez for $2 back in the first week of March, but now we’re talking back problems and injections. Meanwhile my pitching is suffering, and guys on the wire in a 12 team mixed include Suárez, Whitlock, Turnbull, Wacha, Montas, Keller. Should I continue to patiently use a bench spot on JD? I could also drop Brock Stewart or Jordan Westburg, who’s my bench bat with useful positional flexibility (and, you know, is actually playing baseball right now.)
