    Default Drop Buxton, Samardzija or Carpenter for returning R. Ray (DL)?

    My H2H playoffs start in two weeks (Mon. Sept. 04). I've got R. Ray on my DL but he's scheduled to be a 2 Start SP week 1 of my playoffs.

    Considering dropping either Buxton or Samardzija
    (I was leaning toward Santana but his matchups for my playoffs are: @CWS(4) BAL(3) / DET(3) KC(4) / @LAA(3)@SEA (3).

    I'm only keeping Samar for his matchup week 1 Fri 08 @CWS- but if I dropped him I could play Arrieta v. MIL that week instead, or a third RP if I'm facing a team that is competitive in saves.

    Buxton
    I picked up for just this week, but if he continues to catch fire, he plays @TB (3) @KC (4) week 1, and could really help me in SB while Turner is out.

    The only other player I've consider dropping is Carpenter - he plays @SD (4) PIT (3) week 1 - but every week he has great matchups I tell myself he's going to turn it around, only to be disappointed.


    This year our league has been extremely competitive so any advice to give me even the slightest edge is much appreciated!

    I think your idea of swapping in Arrieta for the specific start and keeping Buxton over Samardzija is a good move.

    Buxton could give you the edge with his recent streak and his SB total is going to increase in the coming weeks so if you need those (who doesn't usually ) you'd be wise to hold on to him here.
