Is Jeff Kent worth keeping?
472098
Definitely not.  In case you don't know, Jeff Kent has the most homeruns among all the second basemen of all time.  Overall, he is a top-5 2B before season begins.  A good 2B is very hard to find.  It's not likely you will have good replacement.\n\nC_bar has listed Kent's numbers.  Remember most of the hitters are very consistent.  That's why people still rely on Manny Ramirez, and still still Shelton will fall.  And Jeff Kent could hit better if Nomar can protect him.

if willingham is available i would drop javy lopez. i just picked up shawn grees because he is playing to his potential. hermida is good. willingham would give you a back up catcher. he also can be placed in the outfield slot.\ni dropped pierre because he just seems unable to get on base. keep green drop pierre and pick up hermida.

Just depends on what you need more, wins or saves, cause both players don't carry much weight in k's, era, or whip. The Indians are gonna be tough this year and CC might break out(or he may continue to regress), so just keep that in mind.

You have too many benched position players.  Look at getting rid of Broussard.  If you take away his 8 RBI day he has not done much, and he is not even a full time starter.  Wigginton has landed back on earth, and Cantu is almost ready to play again.  Keep E. Encarnacion, he plays in a good hitting park with lots of RBI chances.  You can keep Hall as a near daily fill-in for many positions.\n\nLook to pick up a good relief pitcher that is eligible for both SP & RP slots.  Why waste an SP slot on a normal starter if they are not working that day?

Smoltz is the only one you can condider, or you should ask for better offer.  Even Derrek Lee would be out for 6-8 weeks, but that's a simple injury (not like Prior's and Wood's) and Derek Lee has a reputation to be tough (never been to DL before).  That's someone you can trust.  What if you trade for someone and he goes to DL as well?  Now you can't even Lee back!\n\nAnd the most important thing is, you can pick another 1B from FA and have close number to Lee's.  Like Todd Walker (He will be eligible for 1B soon), or even Xavier Nady, Ben Broussard.

hey there sweetheart. i think what you gotta do is drop javier lopez because not only is he injury plagued but also he has little to no trade value. You should look on your waivers for Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves or Russell Martin, Dodgers. McCann is very consistent but if the Dodgers stick with Martin even after Navarro comes back, he is gold. \n\nYou should try and trade Willis only if you get another star pitcher in return, if you cannot do this, then keep him on your bench until he shows signs of success. Willis will be traded away to another team so this will only boost his value soon. Bonds is just not a great fantasy player unless you count walks. he also has low trade value so youre gonna have to replace him with someone on waivers. As for colon, trade him already, for anything that is decent. I thought i told you to get rid of him. the angels suck.\nIts also time to stop the marshall project. I dropped him after todays terrible performance. Once Wood, Prior and Wade Miller are back hes not going to stay unless he pitches good from now on.

Smart in the short term since Kent is struggling and Monroe is doing much better...\n\nSTUPID in the long term after Kent and the rest of the Dodger line-up get started scoring runs... think about it, a guy hitting .194 has 12 RBIs!!!! Monroe has 20 RBIs and is batting .250.  Kent with 10 more hits in his spot in the line-up could easily make up the 8 RBI difference... and remember, Kent has 100+ RBIs in 8 out of the last 9 seasons (in that one season, he missed out on 100 by 7 RBIs in an injury plagued season!!)

Do you ever look at your team. Clemens hasn't pitched yet this season and will probebly retire so bench him until he makes a decision and put another pitcher in. Wagner is good but look for better relief. Starting is better. Get a new infielders except Thome. Look on waivers you wont believe what you'll find if you look hard enough. Always look to upgrade, never be satisfied. Don't panic, you really shouldn't even look at your standings or make any major moves until late May

Yes he will, most certainly.  He will get some chances when Jones pitches too much at the least and will sometimes get reliever saves (more than one inning).  If you are asking long term, Rodney won't get saves unless Todd Jones goes back on the DL or has a horrible season (think Keith Foulke from last year).\n\nIf you are talking from a fantasy perspective, I would still hang on to him.  I have him too (but not Todd Jones) but am going to see what happens over the next few weeks.  If Jones does well from the start, drop Rodney.  If he falters, Rodney will take over.  He's the closer of the future.  They only want Jones now because they forked over so much money to have him close.

I would definitely keep Beckett over Dontrelle, especially if you need wins.\n\nFlorida is awful and it won't be better anytime soon, plus Willis is struggling so far, SO it's a no brainer I think.\n\nI would drop Wood and keep Clemens, get a good starting pitcher to replace Wood and you should be fine. A good example of a a pitcher that will get you wins without killing your ERA or WHIP and that is probably laying on the FA list is  Woody Williams.

I would definately grab Billingsley. He's one of the top pitching prospects in LA since Fernando Valenzuela. He has a 96 MPH fastball, a sick sider and a good curveball. He's got tremendous strikeout potential and is on a solid Dodger's club that will provide wins.\n\nOf course, he's only 21, and he could be erratic early in his career, much like Cole Hamels, but his upside is definately well worth the risk. \n\nAs for who to drop, Gil Meche has been surprisingly good, throwing a complete game his last time out, so I would definately hold onto him. Between Davis and Snell, either of them could be dropped. They are both decent pitchers, with potential to be very good but so far they havent shown it, so you can live without either of them. \n\nUm... I think I answered this same question like an hour ago.

Alot of it depends on a player who was limited in his 'worth' in 2006 and has a good season in 2007..\n\nA couple of candidates..\n\nIf Mike Sweeney of KC can stay healthy and put up good numbers..\n\nShannon Stewart of Minnesota..  \n\nGary Sheffield, now with Detroit\n\nThose three I would guess to be the AL front runners right now..  each played 60 or less games, have a decent track record in the past, and if they stay healthy, are capable of putting up "rebound' numbers

Although Kent is tearing it up right now, Jeter will get you more hits and HRs this year. I also think with that Yankee lineup, Jeter will get more RBI and score more runs than Kent. If you have Kent, trade while he's still hot. Hitting in Dodger Stadium will lower his number over the long run.

I've been thinking about picking him up too but youre team is much better than mine. He should be thier for a while so I would wait and see how he does. if hes still doing this well D  Lee gets back then drop Broussard for Patterson.

If this is a keeper league, I'd pick up Jered Weaver, as he is undoubtedly one of the best pitching prospects we will see in the next few years. If it is just for this year, go with Lester because with the powerful Red Sox offense, he'll be in every game, and thus have a chance to win every game. Unlike the Angels, who aren't doing that well right now. There is no time table for Weaver to be called up right now. If he was sent down after winning his first three games, they really must not care about pitching him in the majors until next year. At the latest he'll get called up in September when they have 40-man rosters.

Issac Bruce has a new coorindator and Mike Martz is gone. He struggled under his current coach, so bruce's #'s may go down. Matt Jones has more upswing with Leftwhich coming back full strength. Not to mention that Jimmy Smith retired and that gives Jones more touches. \n\nI would keep him.

As much as I like Griffrey he is an injury risk all the time so I would go against it for that reason because if Griffrey goes down then you are in trouble.  Although Soriano may be worth it alone.
