Answer 1

Grab Hardy Now!!!!!He is like 22 for 43 in the past few games and has a 17 game hitting streak going into today and Escobar will not be gone if Hardy seriously cools off.Believe me,I've picked him up in the leagues that he is availible.Do it now or he will be gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I would pick up Hardy but I would keep Yunel because of his position flexibility. Is this a roto league? Even so you probably need someone to fill the infield positions at times to get your 162 games in. If it is H2H, even more reason to have a decent backup when somebody sits.

Your bench has three interchangeable OFs. I would eliminate one of these, Maybe Dunn.

Again in roto, you have an innings limit meaning that you have too many SPs. Park, Johnson and maybe Stults could all go. If you don't count holds, Heath Bell may be available. He will give you good innings from the pen.

As for catcher, you are OK. Is Yad Molina available? Your 3B is weak also. Maybe Troy Glaus or Cantu are available.

Good luck. Have fun.

Answer 3

Id go with Hardy, even if he doesnt work out, Im sure escobar will still be their waiting for you.  Hardy is tearing it up right now, the same way he started out last season.  I think he had a little shoulder injury to start this season but he said his shoulder is in good shape now.  go for it.

Answer 4

Do it, Hardy has better stats then Yunel in everything so go do it.
