Something UNBELIEVABLE has just happened in my fantasy baseball league. how should i take advantage?

Okay, so today one of the players in my league, whether on an error or if he did it on purpose, dropped all of the players in his league except for Miguel Cabrera. That's right, everyone! No joke! They include:

Derek Jeter

Matt Holliday

Jorge Posada

Ryan Doumit

Jorge Cantu

Dan Uggla

Kevin Kouzmanoff

B.J. Upton

Bobby Abreu

Josh Hamilton

Vladimir Guerrero

A.J. Burnett

James Shields

Barry Zito

Scott Kazmir

Nate Robertson

Raul Ibanez

Cody Ross

Martin Prado

Russell Branyan

This means that for whatever reason, all of these players are free agents. So, I'm asking you: who should I pick up for my team? My current roster looks like this:

C- Ivan Rodriguez

1B- Justin Morneau

2B- Alberto Callaspo

3B- Mark Reynolds

SS- Jason Bartlett

2B/SS- Alex Gonzalez

1B/3B- Micheal Young

OF- Matt Kemp

OF- Franklin Gutierrez

OF- Vernon Wells

OF- Brett Gardner

OF- Kosuke Fukudome

UTIL- Erik Aybar

P- Zack Greinke

P- Andrew Bailey (reliever)

P- Fransisco Cordero (reliever)

P- Matt Garza

P- Ryan Franklin (reliever)

P- Clay Buckholz

P- Andy Petite

P- C.C. Sabbathia

P- Colby Lewis

Bench- Derek Lee (1B)

Bench- Kevin Correia (SP)

DL- Brian Roberts

    Make your priority list thusly:

    1. Holliday

    2. Jeter

    3. Upton

    4. Zito

    5. Hamilton

    The players who are the worst on your team play OF (Gutierrez, Gardner, Fukodome will cool down) and SS/2B (Callaspo, Alex Gonzalez). So you want Holliday - OF, and Jeter - SS the most, then the rest of these players in descending order. I'd personally just concentrate on these 5 guys, concentrating most on grabbing Holliday or Jeter. I'd drop, in this order, Correia, Eybar, Gonzalez, Gutierrez, Callaspo.

    Dud Hary is right. Publish the league and make it so you have to apply to join the league. This is not a forum for to advertise your league. It is getting annoying! Howmany times have you posted this today!!!

    well,first of all,the decent thing to do would be for the commissioner to make sure it wasnt a mistake,and try to work w/ the guy if it was.........but if he was just quitting on the league......

    you really need help at SS and 2B and OF......so i would grab Upton first,then Jeter,then Holiday,then Uggla........in that order,grab whatever you can.....

    and you need SP as well-forget about RP.....his SP is weak,nothing spectacular,but i would go for Shields first,then Zito and then Burnett......but it all depends on who you would have to drop to get them........

    If this is a private league contact the commissioner to make sure this wasn't due to a software error or hacker.

    derek jeter for sure, then ryan doumit, Barry zito and raul ibanez. I can sorta see why he dropped most of those people, but probably wouldn't have done so myself.

    Holiday, Jeter, Hamilton and Uggla his team is awful I can see why he quit.

    Why is that so UNBELIEVABLE? Free league with random people you don't know... this stuff happens. That's why many people avoid them.
