    10-team roto

    I give Ellsbury (coming back from injury, in a contract year)

    I get: Melky (possible PED suspension) and Madison Bumgarner (my best pitcher is Gallardo).

    What do you guys think?

      Do it. Ellsbury has a horrible injury record (hes in the past skipped games because his "rib was sore" even though docs cleared him to play ball.) Even when healthy he only helps in 3 cats. Melky is not a suspension risk at this point and it looks like you could use the SP help.

      I would say Melky and Bumgarner because Melky isn't going to serve another suspension and is still a great hitter despite the PED's. He can steal 20 bags and you can find another SB guy on the waiver wire I'm sure. Keep an eye on Gordon and Stubbs if they hit.
