    Drop Votto for Urshela?

    6x6 mixed keeper (OBP = the extra bat category along with AVG, HR, R, RBI, SB).

    Votto just killllllllling me all year. AVG is sh*t, OBP climbing a bit but still meh...zero power, RBI lame...only Runs are half-decent thanks to batting 2nd, mostly. Urshela is out there, can help with AVG and OBP at least...can move Y.Gurriel to 1B, and have Cron on the IL almost ready to come back.

    So, drop the rickety ol' vet Votto for the kid? Other options for whom I could drop Votto & slug into CI spot:

    Sogard (great AVG, OBP)
    M.Franco (been on fire last month, 6 HR, .367 AVG, .418 OBP)
    Miguel Rojas (AVG and OBP and very important—full-time ABs)
    L.Arraez (AVG and OBP)
    C.Moran (AVG, OBP, okay power)
    12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).

    C- J.McCann
    1B-Cron
    2B- Villar
    SS- Andrus
    3B-Baez
    MI-L. Gurriel
    CI- Y.Gurriel
    OF- Blackmon, Judge, Betts, Dom.Santana
    UTIL- Benintendi
    BENCH: Pence, Dyson
    SP: Verlander, Scherzer, M. Boyd, JA Happ, Ponce de Leon
    RP: Yates, Greene, C.Martinez, Oberg, Bummer, N.Anderson
    IL: Buxton

    The main thing I would have against this idea is that up until this year, Urshela has shown little or nothing offensively. My guess is that Votto will pick things up over the rest of the season, and while he probably won't be the old OBP terror he was, he'll be much better than he's shown thus far this season. I'm also guessing that Urshela will revert to the mean, but a lot of people have been saying that all season.

    So I wouldn't do it. BUT consider the source.

            In the end, was all moot...had to drop Joey Vott-oh-for-4 for Cron coming off IL today. All things considered, had to go with the guy who's at least helping in a couple power categories.
