NL-Only: E Dukes, G Parra, J Schafer

by Giants_Junkie on Jun 2, 2009 7:19 PM EDT Comment 3 comments

I'm in a traditional 5x5, 25-man roster, autcion-draft, NL-only league.

I have Jordan Shafer ($1 through 2010), who was demoted today. I also have Gerardo Parra ($10 through 2011) who I linked to Elijah Dukes ($1 2010) when the latter went on the DL. Here's my quandary: with Schafer's demotion and Dukes's activation, I have the opportunity to split/keep Parra & Dukes, but the move would require cutting Schafer outright. I am in the running and playing for this year, but since this is a keeper league, I am concerned about dumping Schafer because of his long-term potential (and admit to worrying that Parra's hot start might not last).

Other choice

Let Dukes sit on reserve and hope a different player gets DL/demoted and drop that one?

I have two full "reporting periods" to decide...

…which, in our league means I have until Monday, June 22nd since Dukes was activated on a Tuesday. I do plan to wait to see what other options materialize but the options in the poll are my only choices at this point, so trying to get a feel for what to do if things/scenarios don’t change. In any case, I voted on my own poll with my gut, and so far that gut feel seems to jive with this group. Thank you for the feedback, and more would be welcomed!

Cheers
