Hamilton or Kinsler?

Postby kmoneybags » Sat Dec 27, 2008 8:28 pm

12 teams. H2H. 6x6 with OPS as the 6th offensive category. 3 keepers.

Pujols and A-Rod are my other keepers. Should I go with Kinsler and have a killer 3/4 start to my infield or go with Hamilton to have 1 OF heading into the draft?

I would go with Hamilton. Kinsler is too much of a health risk for me.

In a h2h league I'd be more inclined to take the extra 15-20 Sbs of Kinsler (at a week position), over the extra 10-15 RBI of Hamilton (at a strong position), any minor differences in BA/OPS (and non-counting stats are minor in h2h) won't hurt you on a week to week basis.

Kinsler in h2h ;-D

I'd go with Kinsler. Remember, this is a guy that was better than Chase Utley when healthy last year...and getting better. Not saying Hamilton-type OF's are a dime a dozen, but some late round OF WILL put up his numbers this year and the same can't be said for 2B.

I would go with Kinsler. There are only 3 great 2bs in baseball, and Kinsler is the best one.
Jay Bruce is mah franchize. I love you Chris Davis!

Josh Hamilton. With OPS as a category, I think Hamilton has the edge over Kinsler here.

Pujols, Arod and Hamilton?...are you kidding me?
