Default Allen Craig

5x5 one-year 10-team roto, 25-man roster

We start 5 OF daily. Should I drop Werth for Allen Craig?

I think that's worthwhile.

This is the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger:

Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said that Cardinals manager Mike Matheny "hinted earlier this week" that Allen Craig wasn't ready for outfield duty yet.
Craig has started two of three games at first base since being activated from the DL, going 4-for-9 with three RBI at the plate. But, the Cards apparently might not be ready to test out his surgically-repaired knee in the outfield yet. Craig only played first base and DH'd during his rehab assignment. Hopefully he'll be ready for outfield duty soon, because that's his ticket to playing time after Lance Berkman (calf) is activated, which could be as early as Saturday.

If you need power, keep Werth. If not, Craig can really help you in a ton of categories and he shows occasional power.

Craig is going to be fine, it's just a precaution. Plus, they're trying to ease Berkman back into the line up. As for the main question, it's not a bad move. Craig will have a better average and his power numbers will be similar (per capita). Worth will steal more bases and has some power binges here and there. If you are falling behind badly, it's worth a shot to stop the bleeding.

Craig's also playing 1B. So even if he's "not ready" for the OF, maybe he can play somewhere else while still producing. I'd take a shot on him for sure.

Werth is injured now, I hope you picked up Craig.
