Roster Doctor

by Jonathan Halket
April 29, 2009



If you have a question for the Roster Doctor email here. Emails in simple text with players' full names properly spelled are much more likely to get responses. Also be sure to include your league's player pool (mixed, AL-only, NL-only), number of teams, scoring format (roto, head-to-head, points, etc.), categories, whether or not it's a keeper league, and any other pertinent information.

I have a feeling that Greinke’s not really on the bench, but rather we’re just a particular day on this roster when he was rotated out of an active roster spot.

The empty bench spot is a wasted resource, though, unless your league has very restrictive add/drop limits.

Looks like there are 23 positions on each team, so with 12 teams, ~280 players are on rosters. So there should be a couple of useful guys on waivers. Since you can only keep 2 players, I would have to imagine Hanley would be one of them( he should be worth a 1st round pick next year no problem), and could easily see a couple of other players here who would be more wothry depending on where they were drafted. I can’t really see how either Maybin or Milledge are worthy keepers as their value going into next years draft might be similar to where you got them this year. I would see what you could egt in return for either from the other managers in the league, and if not much, just drop them for someone who will preform better this year.

Keeping Hanley would cost a 1st round pick (assuming he was drafted in the 1st round this year), so it would depend on where he’s drafting next year and whether Hanley is still worth a 1st pick.  If he’s drafting 1st overall, for example, then he wouldn’t keep Hanley.

Thanks for taking a look at the roster. As for Greinke- I’ve been starting him since I got him in a trade for Kevin Gregg soon after he was anointed closer. His performance allowed me to let Haren go in favor of Gonzalez.
