Juan “Not” Gone

In every single league I am in my main focus is to make sure I have every single position filled with a productive player.  Once I’ve accomplished this I allow myself only 1 extra batter.  It’s my goal to do whatever I can to get the best utility player available, either through trade or the waiver wire.  Last year Brandon Inge (C, 3B, OF) filled that spot while providing 27 HR & 84 RBI.  

This year, that must have player is:

Juan Uribe (2B, 3B, SS)

Yahoo 56%      ESPN 60.5%   CBSsportsline 50%

Last year he was a 2nd half All Star, while helping to almost power the Giants to the playoffs (12 HR & 35 RBI).  The numbers may not look monstrous, but for what he provides that is more than adequate.  This year he as picked up where he left of and then some.  Starting 2010 he’s hitting .321 with 10R-2HR-11RBIs.  The way things are going he may play his way into your starting lineup.

Look to follow this strategy, it will free up an extra spot or 2 for your pitching staff.  Pitching wins championships.  You will be able to store that extra SP you’re not sure about, or allow you to grab that interim closer for a couple of extra saves.
