Adam Dunn was dropped in my league.....I know...Who should I drop to pick him up?

I was thinking Hermida, but other than Dunn, there arent a lot of good hitters on the wire...

What do you guys think?

Can you tell me why you need Dunn? I see no reason for him in your lineup at all.

I dont know why I need him, I just feel like 40 bombs doesnt show up on the wire all too often. So you dont think I should pick him up?

If he did qualify at 1st I would have gladly suggested taking him over Swisher.Problem is you need to offset his K's and horriffic average,also your team isn't lighting it up on SB's either.You've got power already.Get someone with more balance in all categories.

the thing with dunn is his SO's don't matter. and no, his average isn't great, but he gets on base enough to make a sizeable contribution in runs and the power catagories. Drop Hermida, easy call.
