Thoughts to help out a first year player?

michaelu76  5/9/2014 8:53 AM

I am doing better than anticipated so far and your predictions seem to like my chances to finish around the top.  Few guys available on waivers include Kole Calhoun and Matt Joyce and Roark and Kuroda as pitchers.  Do you see any moves I should contemplate for either?  Enjoying the site and any and all help is appreciated.  This is a daily points ROTO

It would be nice if you can find room for Calhoun who should be back in about two weeks. He offers a nice Runs Value which you need.

With that in mind, would you drop a Mark Trumbo who's predictions aren't that much better than Calhoun at this point and ride Lind and Loney in a platoon at 1B like I'm currently doing?

We would suggest that since have Calhoun projected as the better "per game" player the rest of the year plus he's back about a month earlier than Trumbo.
