I'm in a fight for my playoff life and Huggins and Bagwell just went down for 10 games with 21 to play. Dump them for a healthy player or ride it out with $16 mil on the bench?

I would consider dumping them if you have good alternate options, especially if you're a little behind in the playoff standings.

Decided to dump them for 69 McCovey and 52 Schoendienst. I'm in Dunn and was using Bags as a lefty killer. We'll see what happens. I've got a 1-game lead in the wild card race.

as of me... you made an excellent move... down the stretch you need all the help you can muster... especially with 75% of RHP...

8-) 8-) 8-)

Agreed. Please let us know how it turns out. ;)

Update... it was the right move. I entered game 142 6 games back in the division. After starting 1-4, the team got red hot and went 14-2 down the stretch, including a sweep of the division leader in the final 3 games to take the division!

McCovey rained hellfire on the division, going .412/.500/.927 with 10 HR in 19 games
I also had dumped an underperforming Dave Martinez for Matt Lawton, who went .347/.446/.600 and has earned permanent draft consideration on all my teams going forward.
