Amazing depth with hitters. Can only start 3 this upcoming week regardless of position. Votto, Frazier, werth, Desmond Jennings, swisher, laroche. Thanks ray

Kirk – Tough, tough call. I’d go Jennings, LaRoche, Votto.

Hey Ray, Rios was inexpelicably dropped in my league (points not roto). I am really happy with my team and I don’t know who to drop…your thoughts?
-possible candidates
*Scutaro – good position flexibility (2b/3b/ss) and we start a MI position and CI
*Carter- hot bat but he doesnt play everyday
Has really helped me with tex out of the lineup
*Bryce Harper- tough to know what to get from this kid week-toweek- even thought heating up
*Kyle Kendrick- has been so good of late and even though i’m scared for the CIN start tomorrow, his schedule looks like cake afterthat
*McCarthy- Angels twice in aweek…hmm..ouch?
*Ryan Cook-
*Carlos Lee – can’t dump El Caballo, can i??
Thanks for your help in advance!

Baseballer – Ryan Cook is gone. Only way to keep him is if it’s a holds league. If you dont want to let him go, I would let Lee go. He’s been solid, but without the power you need from the position he plays.

Hey Ray, I was leaning Lee too….we do get points for holds(2pts)…he actually has pitched very well since being demoted. a Save, win and hold in last week and a half with good whip/era.
Thanks for your great insight as always!
