Wieters or Chris Davis in a keeper?

Postby Carey Saders » Sat Feb 14, 2009 12:59 am

In a H2H 12-team league. We keep 8 every year. I'm anticipating my first pick to be between these two. Here's my roster:

C -
1B - Pujols
2B -
3B - Chipper
SS - Reyes
OF - Vlad
OF - Abreu
OF - Bruce
Util -

SP - Webb
SP - Beckett

I'm leaning towards Wieters.

I'm leaning towards Davis (I assume you mean Chris Davis, 1B/3B TEX). He will be a monster for years to come, will be drafted higher (I believe for years to come), and you could use a back-up/replacement for Chipper.

Oh thats a hard one...but I would keep Wieters because I think Davis will lose his 3B position by the time you need to dump Chipper.

please rank my team

I don't know. That's a tough one.

I think both will be monster, but I think Weiters has a higher upside and he play's catcher. Plus you already have Pujols and Chipper anyway.

I take Davis here. You have your util spot to use him in. Plus with Chippers health issues, you have a pretty good backup. Pujols has been playing with injuries for awhile too so you never know when he may take a trip to the DL.

take Davis. Catchers tend to take more games off. Plus I don't typically like to take catchers that high since they break down easier.

Here's mine!

Davis, Weiters hasn't displaced Piazza as the best hitting catcher yet.

I have to go with Davis here. I think he's going to have a monster year
