Drop Chase Utley for...?

[TGutta]

I am in a 12 team keeper league and have waited long enough for Utley to rebound. Pretty weak in the 2B/3B department. Here is my team:

C - Yadier Molina
1B - Paul Goldschmidt
2B - Brett Lawrie
3B - Justin Turner
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
OF - Brett Gardner
OF - Hanley Ramirez
OF - Matt Kemp
UT - Adrian Gonzalez
UT - Victor Martinez
BN - Byron Buxton
BN - Jay Bruce
DL - Jorge Soler
NA - Javier Baez

SP - Felix Hernandez
SP - Carlos Martinez
SP - Justin Verlander
SP - Lance McCullers
SP - Eduardo Rodriguez
SP - Ubaldo Jimenez
SP - Rick Porcello
SP - Clay Buchholz
SP - Roenis Elias
RP - Shawn Tolleson
RP - John Axford
RP - Jason Grilli
RP - Cody Allen
RP - Kelvin Herrera
DL - Jered Weaver
DL - Hyun-jin Ryu
DL - Matt Moore
NA - Lucas Giolito


Looking to pick up a 2B/3B unless people think I should upgrade a different position? Here are some that are available that intrigue me:

2B - Brandon Phillips
2B - Neil Walker
2B/OF - Eddie Rosario (keeper league and will likely lose 2B eligibility next year)
3B - David Freese

I actually like Phillips of those options, Walker is struggling real hard right now, and Freese is ice cold too

I think you have much bigger issues with Starting Pitching.....

Watch for Delino Deshields coming off the DL. Potential great source of steals which you also need on your roster.

Yeah I know of my issues with SP. It's basically a crap shoot after Felix, but I've been basically picking up whoever I can off the waiver wire trying to strike lightning in a bottle with someone. Haven't had too much luck trying to trade with others either (tried to get David Price in a deal for Hanley Ramirez).

I would go after DeShields, but unfortunately he isn't available.

So I wake up this morning to see that Utley has been placed on the DL, maybe I jinxed him? :rolleyes: I ended up dropping him for Brandon Phillips.

On another note, I had someone offer me Wilmer Flores and Giovanny Urshela for Adrian Gonzalez and Cody Allen, saying that it's a decent trade for both of us since I am getting future potential. I couldn't hit reject fast enough. Is there something in his thinking that I am missing? I see no future fantasy value in either of those guys to make me trade Gonzalez, let alone him and Allen.
