The thing I've always liked about Klesko is his bb/ k ratio- which is very important in our league. However, the reality is his HRs and SB are down considerably from his 'hey-days' a few years ago.
He bats third which is a definite plus- but he plays at Petco which is a definite minus. Furthermore, his shoulder has an arthritic condition (whateverthe hell that means).
I drafted him in round 19- but I'm thinking of landing N.Lowry instead (pitching is important in this league). Please see the Lowry post.
His average is decent, but he won't play enough for it to have effect. His HRs may rebound to about 15, but don't expect more than that in Petco. SBs have been down a for while: Expect 4-5. And, I doubt his BB/K will really be worth much, based on his limited playing time.
Your wisemen don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick...
I like Broussard more than all those guys. But I'm going with the minority and predicting Klesko as comeback player of the year, just speculating though.
Take Dye, he will give you more than Lowry or Klesko. Really, what is the ceiling on Lowry this year? Nothing above mediocre, I would rather roll the dice with Dye, who has the potential to be fantastic trade bait if he starts hot.
I like Klesko to bounce back, but even then I still think he is waiver material. I think that Broussard is better than the other hitters, but if pitching is more important (and you have a solid 1B) then go with Lowry.
klesko? c'mon he is tooooo busy crying about his home ball park to put any effort into a rise look for a similiar season to last if not the start to a decline
