Answer 1

I'd drop Escobar...he's easily your worst fantasy player and you have Kendrick behind him anyway.

Answer 2

You probably won't miss Hermida. He's unclaimed in my winner league, where not many roster-worthy players are available.

Besides, you're getting back an OF, so dropping an OF makes sense.

Gordon's not great, but he's owned in most leagues, and he's not bad to have on the bench.

Escobar's not a big name, but he's not that bad, and you don't know when Kendrick might re-injure himself.

All of this, of course, depends on who's available at 1B, OF, 2B in your league's free agent pool.

Answer 3

I'd just drop Hermida. You've got Holliday, Ellsbury as your backup OF already
