I need to drop two of this list: J. Upton, C. Duncan, C. Hart and J. Hamilton? Who should go?

I have an abundance of mediocre outfielders with whom I play "match game" to get to most out of them. Unfortunately, I need to drop one this week and then another by the end of the week. Who should go first and then second? Thanks!

It kind of depends what categories you need stats in. But really, at this point in the season it is not going to matter who you drop and who you keep for the most part.





I would almost unwaveringly go with Hamilton and Duncan or Upton an Duncan. Duncan is the only player that has a chance to somewhat affect how your team fares in the last 50 or so games as he can hit maybe 5-7 HR. Upton has been a hot pickup though he hasn't really prooved anything yet. Keeping him will not hurt your team.





Hart is useless and Hamilton has cooled off dramatically from his hot start.





The bottom line is no matter what you do, the biggest difference that your decision could possibly make is 5 HR total, maybe 10 RBI, 5 SB, maybe affect your average by .0005 of a point.





But I guess if you are just trying to make the smart decision, I would go with Upton and Duncan. Upton should be fun to follow down the home stretch.
Reply:munkeematt, it does matter who you drop, especially if you're in a head to head format where every week counts.





I would drop Chris Duncan since he is very inconsistent and only plays against righties. Plus, he's been slumping. I would also drop Josh Hamilton, as he's been injured and has cooled off from his hot start.





Hart has also cooled off, but can still give you some homeruns and stolen bases. Upton has also been a nice pickup. He's gotten 3 triples already, and has homerun power.
Reply:drop Duncan first since his play is so irregular. this gives you a chance to see how hamilton does coming back from injury. if he doesn't do anything you have your answer, if he does well i'd probably drop hart. i think upton will be strong for the rest of the year.
Reply:hamilton and upton are the talents. hart may beat out hamilton because of SBs
Reply:Chris Duncan because he is in a big slump, Justin Upton because he only had one good game, and Josh Hamilton because he hasn't done anything in forever. Then pick up Raul Ibanez because he is on fire with 5 HR and about 15 RBI's in the past week.
