If you're willing to risk, Span could be the play. Potentially more upside offensively. You don't get fantasy points for Gordon's elite defense in LF.
Garcia is my first choice. ATL's offense is batting .190 and has scored only 4 runs in their first two games. He's always been rather productive when healthy. Really like him as a #4 starter in STL this year.
Second-best option is Ventura. Massive strikeout potential, at home, due for a rebound year. Showed flashes in the second half of last season after flirting with a demotion to the minors.

Only catcher on my roster is Kyle Schwarber. Any guys I should look at grabbing in anticipation of him missing a bunch of games?

^ Snag Grandal, he should be back soon. Until then, I'd roll with either Montero, Hundley, or Ianetta (for the time being).
Tillman looked crisp opening day but was shortened by rain. Favorable matchup vs TB, too. Just am weary of him, we know how he gets down
Leaning Garcia as well..ATL is trash and even hotter trash when facing LHP

:Wow, I don't know how all those guys are available but good for you.
In my estimation, Realmuto is the best/safest short-term option to replace Schwarber. Welington Castillo presents the most upside, he could very well surpass the 20 HR barrier in '16. Ramos is good for 15+ homers in his own right, very close with Gomes in terms of catcher rankings. Even Grandal is worth a short-term DL stash.

I'd grab Realmuto, Castillo, Swihart or McCann (Realmuto first, the rest no real order)

Don't get fooled by the 5 Ks in two innings, purely an aberration. I'd be surprised if Tillman keeps his ERA under 4.00 in the AL East this year. He's facing Archer today at Camden, which is a hitter's park even though Tampa's lineup is known to be anemic (despite the addition of Dickerson).Tillman looked crisp opening day but was shortened by rain.

Segura worth picking up?
would be dropping AROD i think.
my SS is Bogaerts so hed be a fill in / utility.
LeMahieu is available also

I like Segura as a player but doubt he maintains this hot start at the dish (him or Ahmed). 3 HR in four games, one of them coming inside-the-park on Schwarber's nasty collision. Would be awfully surprised if Segura hits double-digit homers this year.
I would consider adding LeMahieu for A-Rod. Coors effect and he's been rather consistent the past 3 seasons. Not a ton of pop but I'll take the 60 RBI and 25+ SB.

Definitely add LeMahieu if you need SB. He swiped 23 last year and 18 in 2013. He's a top-10 fantasy 2B.

Same here. I've never done H2H before so this is frustrating seeing some of my guys go 1/4, 0/3 etc
and have it all add up to such a ****** average.Got Cole and Iglesias going today, versing one another. Hopefully it's a duel and my pitching regains the lead.

I'm getting cooked right now . Might be able to push it to 6-6 but I doubt it. Looking like I'll go 4-8
