Message #6 by Brian Ramos @ April 14, 2009, 06:39pm Dukes or Spilborghs Dukes is taking over in CF with Milledge being sent down to the minors. I am debating whether to take him over Spilborghs. I just like Dukes' power/speed combo. I had him last yr and when he plays he can be very impressive. I know he may get hurt, but I have depth in the OF and I would rotate him in when healthy. I am doing that currently with Spilborghs, especially when he is in Colorado. Many like Spilborghs also because of his breakout potential but who would you take?

Message #5 by Bearlo0317 @ April 8, 2009, 10:09am Schaefer Would you offer him for Morrow or Ziegler? With just Jenks and Motte as closer?

Message #4 by Bearlo0317 @ April 8, 2009, 08:37am Dukes 14 team head to head keeper league. Pickings are slim I was thinking the same on Schaefer to sell high if he gets off to hot start. Have Saito and Ray as set up guys and you can always find a holds guy. will most likely drop Nunez when Upton comes back. Still have Lackey on DL to come off too.

Message #3 by Rob Reed @ April 8, 2009, 07:57am too crowded that outfield is way too crowded now with Kearns in the mix... on that basis, I don't grab him unless you can fill a need by trading Schaefer for something else (I'm not that high on Jordan and his first game HR might have someone in your league excited) and then dump Nunez.

Message #2 by Brian Ramos @ April 8, 2009, 06:44am depends If your league is 10-12 team, I would say no. I think he will be there later, especially since he has not played yet. I would definitely keep him on your scout (watch) team. If the league is larger, I would consider grabbing him. I had him last yr (on and off), and he was great for power and speed. However, with the options you mentioned, I would rather have Dukes than any of those guys. Bring Upton off DL, grab Dukes and drop Rasmus (if not a keeper league) & Nunez (shouldn't get many saves after next week). Rasmus shouldn't get much playing time barring an injury to the starting OF of STL. I don't see much upside in Schafer, but if he stays hot he would be a guy that I would sell high in a month or so.

Message #1 by Bearlo0317 @ April 7, 2009, 02:46pm dukes Ok Serious ? is Dukes worth grabbing as free agent. Have Upton coming off DL Sunday night . Have to decide between dropping Rasmus Nunez or Schafer or pick up dukes as free agent & drop 2 of those players?
