Hi Paul and Eno/Jason. Since you’ve said we can ask questions here, here’s mine: 12-team roto 5×5 but with OBP instead of AVG, and I have 8 outfielders but can only start 5 in the OF+UTIL slots. Would you get rid of one, or try hard to sell someone here? What if you had to drop one for pitching, who would it be?
Jose Bautista, Justin Upton, Lorenzo Cain, Yasiel Puig, Michael Brantley, Manuel Margot, Keon Broxton, Carlos Gomez
I would try to trade Margot or Puig, and drop Broxton if there’s something interesting on the wire.
Brantley. He doesn’t have his strength back and probably won’t all year…check his Exit Velocity/barreled balls
Not enough BBE. His profile isn’t great so far (too many weak grounders), but he’s hitting the ball plenty hard on liners and fly balls (over 95MPH). No reason to think his strength is gone.
