  • 2K11: Andres Torres

    Is this guy worth hanging onto at this point in a 12-team mixed? I thought I'd nabbed a solid bargain at $4 but he's been putrid and is now losing a lot of PT to Rowand of all people. Any reasons to be optimistic he can turn it around or time to cut bait?

    Available OFs include Gwynn, Presley, Magglio, Thames, Venable.

        I'd be very tempted to go get Eric Thames for him. He looks like he's solid for full-time PT in Tranna's outfield. I'm not sure what the Pirates plan is for Presley, but if he's up to stay, I'd get him, too.
        I'm just here for the baseball.
