On the chopping block

[virgonomic]

I have Tapia and Urquidy returning soon. As a result I need to cut 2 players.

Shallow 14-team H2H. I have clinched first and have a bye next week, so I'm really looking at the 2 weeks after that (semis and finals).

It's SV+HD and some teams are RP-heavy so I'm reluctant to cut a RP unless they are garbage.

Farmer is a nice super sub but hasn't really produced since I traded for him 2 weeks ago and I do have multiple guys everywhere but C/2B.

Which 2 would you cut?

ETA: IL guys don't count against my active roster.

C Perez
1B Mountcastle
2B Merrifield
3B Ramirez
SS Tatis
OF JDM Myers Riley
UT Franco
B Farmer
IL Tapia

SP Darvish Quantrill Lynch FValdez Taillon Kaprielian LGarcia
RP Soto Reyes Colome Matzek Melancon Barnes
IL Urquidy Severino

Barnes and Severino.

Barnes and Farmer. I don’t think Severino counts against your roster since he’s still on IL.

I agree with this.

Yes, IL doesn't count and Severino is a potential keeper in the 10th round (hence the stash).

So from Sep 13-26 Barnes will be useless (again, HD+SV)? That's my real window as I don't have a tough matchup next week. Ottavino was just grabbed. I can always look for a hot RP leading up to mid-Sep. Trivino was just dropped.

Didn't know Severino was a keeper. Dump Farmer.

I can keep one of Framber/Reyes/Severino in the 10th round. But as noted Severino is on IL and not taking up a roster spot.

Farmer dropped and promptly hits a HR.
Barnes to IL lets me stash him for 10+ days.

RP: Soto Reyes Colome Matzek Melancon

Interesting FA: Trivino Bednar Estevez JBarlow Staumont Leone

Are there any obvious upgrades here? I have clinched first so get a bye to the semis Sep 13-19.
