Yeah, you'll need to bench him. This sucks because it's the second year in a row that he's done this to us...
Obviously undroppable and no point in trading him because I wont' get anywhere near full value. Do I just pick up another 2B and bench him while he "rides out" this slump of 6 for 65 (0.92 avg)?

Uggla had an INSANE second half last year...
1st half: 43 R, 15 HR, 34 RBI, .185 AVG
2nd half: 45 R, 21 HR, 48 RBI, .296 AVG
This year, he already has 12 bombs and 45 RBI.
I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm actually about to cut him. Someone talk me out of it...

I live in Atlanta and watch a lot of Braves games.
Uggla is a case... honestly, he just looks like he is WAY away from making good contact a lot of the time.
It's in his head... which means he could fix it as early as tonight... or it could carry on all year.
Uggla's second half numbers aren't like other players, for this reason.
It's not like he switches it on after a certain amount of the season has passed.
You have to bench him, do it now, find a replacement.
Don't drop him though.
Consider him the hitting-equivalent of RA Dickey.
Great when he's on.
Bad when he's off.
Don't worry about trying to have him active when he clicks on.
Let him put up a few big games of numbers and then add him back into your starting lineup.
Has he gotten to 0 for 30 yet?

I'd find a cheap replacement for the time being, but I would not drop him.

I dropped him today to stream Iwakuma which was a good move for my pitching since Verlander decided to shit the bed. Of course he hits a homer and makes me second guess myself.

I'm still putting him on my watch to cut list. He has until Monday to impress me or he's gone.

Home run last night.....while batting 8th in the order lol
Uggla's been downright brutal.
He was 9/78 in July... batting average = .115
Fortunately, he can still take a walk... so he has some real-MLB value.
But now is a decent time to really consider dropping him. (always depends on who is available, of course)
#1. Atlanta doesn't play Thursday.
#2. Then ATL has 3 games against PHI including Halladay & Lee
#3. And the month of Sept includes more games against PHI, WAS (8/45) this year, MIL (3/11), MIA (9/40), NYM (7/35).
Even when he does break-out (IF, big IF) he'll be down in the line-up. He's also hitting in the 8 spot and much less likely to score runs.
Yeesh.
I hear that....but at the same time who is available at this point as a 2B replacement!?! The best available for me is Kyle Seager.
