Corey Hart - Platooning again?

[Bwanna]

is he droppable???

Depends on your league format and your ability to predict the future.

I dropped him for Coco Crisp in one league and picked up Jeff Francouer for the third time in my other league.

I figure Corey Hart gets hot again, I can nab him before anyone else does. So, I say drop him.

I would say drop in shallow leagues. Deep leagues might want to wait a bit to see if he reclaims the leadoff spot permanently.
His June was a monster month which really showed his upside.
28 9 21 10 .336

I doubt he'll come close to that in August or September, but even 60% of it would be very nice.

He is platoonable with sufficient roster space since he has a +41 point BA differential with substantial power at home over his career. Also better against LHP but that would really limit his AB. I would say LHP + Home keep him active.

i think i'll be dropping him soon as Brett Myers and Phil Hughes come off the DL, he's been riding my bench for a few weeks now anyways...

3 for 4 tonight, with a homer, 2 RBIs and 2 runs.

I'm holding.

You guys must be in some shallow leagues to consider dropping him. Another big game tonight. He's not a must start but he belongs on a roster in almost every league.

What I'd like to know is what happened to Hart's SBs ... 16 on the season, ZERO in the past month. His success rate has been great -- caught just four times this year.

I recognize Hart's BA is languishing at .224 over the past month & OBP is down as well as well but still you'd expect a couple or a few SBs. Like a little whipped cream on a pile of BA dog poo. Any insights?
