this is what i am talking about. since coming off of the DL howard has gone 5 for 15 with 3 homers. Also, his last at bat before hitting the DL was a grand slam. Maybe you people missed the part about before you click this forum "should i bench albert pujols and start erstad?" :crazy: I would have been starting jason kubel or cory hart with that extra spot that howard would have taken. Always start your studs, that is why they are must starts because if they heat up while you have them on your bench you will be kicking yourself really hard.

[quote][b]Cidron (5/25/2007)[/b][hr]Why do you need to start Mr. Howard? Dont get me wrong, he is a star type. But, he has a little rust to knock off and he wasnt exactly swinging the bat well beforehand. Give him a few (while you explore trades) to get back in the swing of things.[/quote]

No way in hell do i bench howard in a 20 team league. he has had 15 days to knock of the rust and get healthy. I ended up dropping jason kubel all together and added michael bourn because as i said i need the steals and bourn is a category killer for steals1. i may end up dropping crisp as well if he doesnt pick it up, he sucks right now.

for a 20 team league, there are a surprising number of good players on the WW- when i say "good" i mean guys like reggie sanders, doug mintkievitch, frank catalonatto, jason kubel and rob machoviak. I guess it is because of the small bench size(3 bench spots).

thanks for the responses tho, i took them into consideration(except for the guy who said to bench ryan howard)

edit travis buck is available as well.

I was going to say sit Crisp and Hart, but if you need steals then start Crisp over Kubel I suppose.

20 team keeper league roto with holds and OPS and the extra categories

c olivo

1b dan johnson

2b weeks

3b arod

ss hardy

ci carlos pena

mi pedroia

OF luke scott, coco crisp, corey hart, kubel

DH casey blake

BN hermida, conor jackson, grudzialanek,

DL ryan howard, mark kotsay

SP lackey, escobar, juan cruz

RP Cris ray, jeremy accardo

p ervin santana, embree, beimel, saul rivera, jim gobble,

BN kevin cameron

DL roy halladay, john patterson

ryan howard is coming off the DL i and must start him. I also will start dan johnson and carlos pena at DH and CI. I can only start 4 of these 6 outfielders: luke scott, coco crisp, corey hart, jason kubel, casy blake, jeremy hermida.

i am leaning towards sitting kubel and crisp because their OPS sucks. But crisp steals a lot of bases, which i need. So i guess kubel and one other. The rest are pretty similar tho Hart has been hurt early on, but is heathy now, has a good career OPS(but not so far for 2k7, but he hasnt been healthy till just recently) and steals some bases(5 so far this year).

i plan to drop jimmy gobble and mark grudzialanek to make roop for halladay and howard coming off the DL. emil brown is also available on FA, and he is heating up so i could drop someone else for him, but my outfield is crowded already, especially when kotsay comes off the DL.

all opinions are welcome
