Do you need Kluber?

I wasn't really suggesting, more recounting what I did when I faced a similar decision.

Nope.

Lofton costs about 5K to get now after you have all the Indians minus Kluber and Brantley.

The prices on all the common Indians cards have risen a lot since Monday.

Do you like to use how easy it is to steal in the game to your advantage? Than Gomez is good for that while still providing solid offense and defense. Do you prefer going base to base and using extra base hits to score runs? than Jones would work better for you. I don't like to steal to much this year, feels a bit cheesy to do it every time someone fast is on 1st or 2nd, but it is a viable strategy this year since they made it quite easy to steal bases by upping the speed on fast players. The other option is to use both, one in RF/LF. If they have it as a 2nd position they only take a 20% ratings hit.

I like Lofton, but man does he have a noodle for an arm. I swap him and Brantley out for fun. Lofton is hitting .400 1HR 9 RBI .429 RISP in 45 AB's. He has only dropped 1 fly ball so far. His arm is sooooo bad though. He can barely hit cut offs. If defense and baserunning exploits weren't issues. Lofton would be great.

I'm seriously considering selling Gomez. I pulled him in a standard on Friday. Through around 15-20 games he is hitting .145 1 hr and 6 rbi. Waiting for the market to rebound to sell him. Idk who I'm replacing him with. I had Hanley ramirez who was batting .260 14 hr and 60 rbi and lofton on my bench for defense late in game for ramirez or Ted Williams.
