Reggie and .75 SS or Gibson and Smalley?

[AdamKatz]

I have Reggie as DH and my pick of .75 guys to play SS. However, smalley (or concepcion) is still available at SS (I am probably playing Reynolds at 2B) and so are Gibson, Greenwell and Gamble! I can also get Incaviglia to platton as DH against lefties (or Buechelle or Castillo). My gut is to stick with Reggie but the three Gs are good enough to maybe allow me t upgrade SS. Any thoughts?

But, Gibson/Gamble and Smalley will more than match Reggie and, say, UL Washington. Can you trade Reggie for something of value (so that you get a player, Smalley and Gibson/Gamble)?

To me, it all turns on your park. In a power park, I don't like going with a zero at short when Smalley's there. He's going to hit 15-20 HRs and get on base 34-5% of the time. With Gamble, you have about a 60% chance to match Reggie's top cards.

I think this team is already insane. I got Rice of waivers 9th and picked up Blylevan, Sutton and Strawberry (all dropped) in the frenzy after waivers. Nevertheless, 2B and SS are holes (and RP could be a problem). Dont like Reynolds but really nothing else available. Only Wilfong is around at .75. I am going to try to trade Reggie for a top-cheap RP (Burke or lefty) and see if the money would work. Otherwise, Im still undecided between Reggie or Smalley and Gibson/Greenwell/Gamble (each of which I would prefer with a better platton against lefties).

So you went with Reggie, and he's delivering so far... and your SS platoon has not been half-bad. I had Reynolds at 2B in one of my leagues, and he stunk it up so badly, that I released him and went with Remy at 2B (he's a 0.75M guy)... that's how bad Reynolds can get. With all the $$ you invested in SP, I notice still that your bullpen has 66IP and 4 losses already after 27 games. I'd check your manager strategy and individual pitcher settings to make sure your starters stay in longer, or else all that good SP and defense will go down the drain when the RP take over.... IMO.
