Chris Snelling is a free agent in my AL-Keeper league. In everything I read about him, they mention that he has a huge amount of talent, but trouble staying healthy. He started this season at AA and has since moved up to AAA, posting a .300+ Batting average at both stops. Is he worth picking up and storing away at this point? I can keep up to 15 players. What do you think he'll do in the future, and does he have the chance to take over for Randy Winn after this year?
A player in the minors with an injury history? I'd probably pass.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
I have heard alot of good things about Snelling...but the one bad thing is his injury history...Unless you are in a very deep AL keeper (12 teams or more)...I would pass on him...even with 15 keeper, I think he will be availible in the draft next year.....

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
Snelling is a potentially decent avg. type, but has little power or speed. He was overmatched in trial with Seattle last season. Marginal prospect, not worth a spot.
Thanks for the response. I've decided to pass on him.
My keeper league goes by the players in Yahoo. A player is only eligible to be kept for the following year if he started the current year in the AL-Player pool, so players like Teixiera, Gobble, and Harden cannot be kept and will enter the draft next year. Snelling was a rare prospect that started the season in the player pool, so I could have grabbed him this year and held onto him.
