Pablo Sandoval...thoughts.

[hojo17]

Somebody is offering him to me in a KEEPER league.

Thoughts this year?

Thoughts in the future?


Thanks.

i have the same dilemma. i am being offered him in a dynasty league but don't know where his position will be. right now he is listed as the starting 3b but he giants offered joe crede a contract the other day. would crede start at third over sandoval? keep in mind sandoval is only 22 and was not a big time prospect before last year, but he put up great numbers in the minors last year and excellent numbers in his pro debut. sandoval can be a very attractive option if you need a C since he is the backup catcher to molina. however, i am not sure where they want sandoval long term. i believe ishikawa has 1b, molina has catcher (with buster posey waiting in the wings) and i don't really think sandoval has the typical body type for an everyday third baseman. he hits third in the lineup which makes him an attractive option for runs and rbi's with a great average but he probably won't touch 20 HR. in a keeper or dynasty i think he is an attractive player that may turn into nice tradebait for someone who needs a catcher in the short-term.

I would not pay a lot for the guy. You do not even know if he gets a starting job. And his value is at C which is where he is least likely to get time if he does start.
