10team h2h mixed. 1 catcher league. 2util
My c is wieters. No backup right now. Duomit on waivers. Should I pick him up and drop Belt who is on bench? Hosmer my starter at 1b and belt my only backup at 1b.
Another ? Is should I drop edwin Jackson for ikawuma?
Other sp are cliff lee, bumgarner, teheron, morrow, lester, and Parker
I wouldn't drop Belt to pick up Doutmit. Belt could easily surpass Hosmer at some point. As for your pitchers, yeah I would drop Jax for Iwak5ma

A trade went through in our keeper league and I am just wondering if its reasonably fair or if its lopsided. Its a straight up swap of DeMar DeRozan for Kyle Lowry. Thanks for the feedback. You guys are great.
Lowry owners are in a tough situation because of his timeshare with Jose Calderon. Lowry easily has more fantasy upside than DeRozan but his current situation is awful and it might not change unless Calderon gets hurt or is traded. Derozan has no competition for minutes at SG and is a consistent source for points (17.7 points), rebounds (4.6) and steals (1.1). It's not a horrible trade. The guy trading for Lowry is gambling that his situation changes and the guy acquiring DeRozan is getting some consistency.
Good luck,
Eric

I have been a paying member since they started charging for it and with only 1 or 2 baseball teams ($40 league) and 2 NASCAR teams ($50 and a $10), I have always come out ahead to cover this expense. :)
First off - very glad to hear you've profited from the site. That's definitely one of our goals.
If everyone were on the colts it would definitely be worth it to take the ravens and win on an upset. But because a couple will take min, I'd probably take the colts who are 6.5 points underdogs.
Good luck!
Chris
