I just added Daniel Murphy and dropped Dan Uggla, smart move or stupid move? Also I have Kenley Jansen and Ronald Belisario is a free agent when do you think Jansen will come back or if he will come back
Rob,
I’m OK with that. Not a huge Murphy fan but at this point Uggla can be dropped for pretty much any 2B who is putting up decent numbers.
Jansen is expected to return September 17, so it’s great news that he’s not done for the year. Belisario is definitely a worthy pickup but I’d also look to see if League is available. The plan is for those two to share save chances, but maybe you’ll get lucky and one of them emerges as the preferred option.

Good morning Zach,
I’m looking to replace McCann as my backup catcher. I have Yadier Molina as the starter. What is still available: Salvador Perez, John Jaso, and Willin Rosario. Thoughts?
Thanks.
Rich D.
Rich,
I’ll say Rosario. He’s putting up monster power numbers and has raised his AVG significantly after batting over .300 in August. I like Perez too but he doesn’t have Rosario’s power.
