Free Agent Pick-ups

A team in my league picked-up Jeff Cirillo and Dave Ross to replace two hitters.

Why? Why would anyone pick-up Dave Ross? This team would have been better off leaving the spot open until someone with more upside came along.

And no sooner were these inexplicable moves made then John Gall and Kevin Frandsen were recalled.

Let this be a lesson: Do not force players into your line-up for the sake of filling an opening. If there are not good options in the pool then wait and hope that situation changes.

In April/May, there will be call-ups that are expected to contribute. Dave Ross is not one of those players!
