DL predicament

[tkenm356]

I'm in a 10-team H2H league with 2 DL spots (ideally one for offense, one for pitching, but whatever). Last week both were filled up with Rich Harden and Huston Street.

 

This week my offense suffered two blows, BJ Upton and Aramis Ramirez. I don't have any more DL spots, and Upton and Ramirez were my only 3B options, and my other 2B option is Ian Kinsler whose hot hitting dropped off the face of the earth at the end of April.

 

My question is should I just dump Harden and Street and put Ramirez and Upton on the DL spots and fill up my missing offense slots, or should I hold on to them in hopes they come back strong. My pitching is solid without them. My starters are:

 

Felix Hernandez

Johan Santana

Chris Young

Rich Hill

Oliver Perez

Ian Snell

 

And my closers are:

 

Al Reyes

Mariano Rivera

Jeremy Accardo

 

Street just got a third opinion on his elbow and he has no ligament damage, but his symptoms aren't gone yet so he can't throw and probably won't be back for a while. Harden is making progress and says he could be back by the end of June or the beginning of July. I kind of want to keep at least one of them, but if I lose them it's not exactly hurting my chances. I'm more inclined to keep Harden since he was pitching like a God before he got injured, but who knows what will happen when he comes back.

 

What would you guys do? Ther best ranked 3B on the FA market in my league are Brandon Inge and Eric Chavez.

Chavy's apparently gotten back his home run stroke. Six this month.

I wouldn't drop Harden - he's supposed to be in the pen this week and back starting around the ASG. If he's throwing well, he could be useful even as a middle reliever until he's back starting. I'd try to trade a guy like Perez, who I don't think is going to keep this up, for 3B help or drop Street. You have pretty solid closers w/o him so it won't hurt you that bad if something claims him.
