Which one to keep? McLouth or Andre Ethier

Postby Chiefscards » Tue Nov 11, 2008 8:40 pm

Already have Bay and Hamilton, and I also have C Maybin as my rookie keeper. We use LF, RF, and CF, as well as a util spot.

I relly liked McLouths first half last season, but am wonding if I'd get more consistency out of Ethier?

They're pretty equal besides McLouth will steal more and Ethier will hit for a higher AVG.

I think this one will actually come down to Manny Ramirez. If he stays in LA, I would go with Ethier. If he goes somewhere else, McLouth.

I would go with McLouth. Ethier should have a higher average, but McLouth should be about equal or better with everything else, and have more SB. I would go with McLouth.

Mclouth regardless of where Manny is playing. Although it's closer if you're in a pts league since the SB's are less important.

McClouth. Ethier's value takes a hit without Manny and even with Manny he's not as good.

McLouth no doubt.

McLouth. I think Ethier hits for a decent avg with a little power, but he doesn't have a lot of projection left in him. McLouth can still get better and the steals should already sway the vote in his favor.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.
