Wily Mo vs. Dan Johnson

[mtarail]

I realize that Wily Mo is a better power source and Johnson is a better source for batting average...

But overall statistically in 5 x 5 roto, who do people think will be the more valuable fantasy player?

[WittyC]

I'd vote Pena... he's younger, has more MLB experience, and has more than enough power to go for 40 long balls. His upside is still too great for me to take Johnson ahead of him.

[benjapage]

witty nails it.

b

[acsguitar]

Pena

[swyck]

DJ.

Pena is a whif machine that will find himself on the bench. He does have upside, but IMO DJ is more likely to reach his and to contribute in more then one cat.

[Old_Style]

dan johnson is going to split time with swisher at 1B for now.
pena has a full-time OF job now that casey left and dunn moved to 1B.

[Iconoclastic]

Never draft a backup type player who can be found on waivers- Wily Mo won't be on waivers, DJ and others of his ilk will be

[J.C.Fighter]

Willy Mo should be able to hit atleast 25 homers this season

Willy Mo should be able to hit atleast 25 homers this season

And??

I'm not so sure I'm a believer in Willy Mo yet, but nor am I Johnson. I'd probably rather Johnson, because I feel he has more of a chance of staying in the lineup all year.

Why wouldnt Willy Mo be on waivers this year? He was last year.

DJ is more likely to hold down a starting job then Mo IMO. Remember the carousel in CIN last year? Is it over this year? DJ is not a backup, and he wont be splitting time with anybody.

If you think Mo is going to break out this year thats fine, go ahead and say so, but use some real arguments please.
