Getting Fukudome'd by Kosuke?

Sportsline h2h, NL only points league-

I have Kosuke Fukudome in my NL Only league as basically a 4th outfielder and would normally not start him except that I also have Aramis Ramirez as well.  And Aramis got off to an awful start while Kosuke had a real nice April.  But Kosuke has only had 4 extra base hits after May 1st (2 dbls, 1 triple, 1 hr).  And his ba/obp/slg have all dropped quite a bit as well.  Plus he has only had 3 sb attempts this month, getting caught once.

 

But I need a hitter for the Utility spot in my line-up and not much is available.  Just as bad is that I don't have a lot of players able to be dropped, but Kosuke seems like the most likely option.  My other bench players are currently Aramis Ramirez and pitchers PJ Walters, Octavio Dotel, Vincente Padilla and Wade LaBlanc.   Maybe LeBlanc is the one that should be dropped?

 

My starting lineup this week is C- Doumit, 1b- Berkman, 2b- McGehee, 3b- Kung Fu Panda, OF- Drew Stubbs, OF- Matt Holliday, OF- Alfonso Soriano.   Pitchers- Roy Halladay,  Arroyo,  Jaime Garcia, Jon Garland,  Anibal Sanchez, Carlos Marmol and Francisco Cordero.  We have to start two relief pitchers every week and the utility spot has to be filled by a hitter.

 

I am thinking of dropping Kosuke and adding Andres Torres.  There's not much else available.  In an NL only, h2h points league which player would you rather have going forward the rest of the year?  Fukudome or Torres?  Or should I keep Fukudome and drop LeBlanc for Torres?  Or should I just stay pat for now?

 

Torres does not have a lot of HR upside but has consistently had a high number of doubles and some decent sb's totals throughout the minors.  Plus Bruce Bochy has stated just a few days ago (pre-Posey call up) that Torres would be his lead off guy for the foreseeable future.  I'm assuming that means Torres gets to be an everyday player in the OF and the remaining spots are split up among the rest of the Giants players.  Then again, I don't see Fukudome playing every day unless he really turns things around pretty soon.

 

What should I do?

starting pitchers are few and far between in an NL only league, plus he’s supposed to be back soon. LeBlanc may be coming down to earth- I think Padilla can be an MLB average starting pitcher by playing for the Dodgers.
