If you start the season with Boggs on the bench as has been suggested you are basically playing with a 73-74M team while everyone else is at 80M. You are only hurting yourself if you do that. Dump him now and get a better SP or something.

Fletch, in this situation....

Well it's Camanche Indian, of course!

Anyways - I dumped Dawson and picked up Gibson as my LF. So my Fenway lineup looks like this:

vs RHP

CF Butler
DH Carew
3B Boggs
1B Mattingly
RF R.Jackson
LF K.Gibson
2B Whitaker
SS Fernandez
C Wynegar

vs LHP

CF Butler
DH Carew
1B Mattingly
3B Schmidt
RF R.Jackson
LF K.Gibson
2B Whitaker
SS Fernandez
C Wynegar

SP

Soto
M.Scott
Deshaies
Caldwell
Comer

It's an expensive platoon at 3B, but I don't think I stand a chance to improve my starting lineups, base on the talent that's left on the waiver wire. I think I'll roll with it and see what happens 8-)

That team should hit the cover off the ball!

You could hold your nose, play Carew at 2b with Whitaker as a def. replacement until someone wises up in the league that you're stubborn (or until a card is revealed as a dropable stinker).

Well, I dumped Schmidt in what I believed to be his worst year (actually he's hitting well for his new team in Wrigley, but slanted towards RHP - not a great sign). Boggs is in his '87 card, so he's my full time 3B now.

I'm 4 games over .500 and in 2nd place - so I guess, looking back, I'm glad I rode them both out for a while, until I confirmed Boggs' year.

what did you end up doing with the Schmidt money?

by **FletchGriswold** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 9:22 pm

That cash went quickly on mid level guys - as I went trolling for a bargain. Some worked (Bochte hitting .398 with 125 AB's so far, and Lamp 3-1 with a nasty 0.82 ERA) and some didn't (Hassey & Cey). Overall, it's working out well.
