In need of hitters, help!?

Question

I'm hurtn for some power hitters... Thinkn about pickin up Brad Hawpe, JD Drew, Joe Crede, Randy Winn, Mike Jacobs, or Jason Giambi...

Prolly drop Kelly Johnson, Juan Pierre, or David Murphy, maybe even John Danks since my pitching is decent.

What would you do?? Thanks!

Answer 1

It depends on your team depth, but if I had to pick one it would be Drew.  I wouldn't drop Pierre, because either he or Bourn will lead the league in steals.  One good basestealer on your roster will normally win that stat for the week.

Answer 2

Get Hawpe, and Drew. I'd hang on to Murphy actually.

Answer 3

Wow, Im amazed that all those players are available in your league. Don't drop Pierre unless you are good in the speed department. Also remember to keep positions in mind. If Kelly Johnson is starting at 2B and you drop him, you need somebody to fill that position, which none of the guys you'd be picking up would do. I honestly think that Jacobs, Drew, and Hawpe are your best choices. Giambi is extremely hot right now, but will cool down soon. Crede is just not reliable at all. If your pitching is decent, drop Danks and pick up Hawpe to start out. Everything else depends on your team
