Dukes or Burrell?

Postby JRAMI » Tue Feb 24, 2009 2:04 am

Im in the 18th round of my slow mock draft, I need an OF and Burrell is on the board and so is Elijah Dukes.
Who would you take?
Thanks!

Probably would depend on what my team looked like already but I would go with Dukes here.

I think Dukes is a better investment but Burrell is more of a sure thing

Masterx, I am thinking on the lines of you. Its not a keeper league and Im thinking Burrell will put up similar numbers, Dukes is a total x factor. Could have a J Hamilton type season if he plays up to potential

Take a good look at Burrel's home/away stats while in Phillie. Citizens Bank Park is one of the more hitter friendly parks in baseball, but Burrel thrived on the road.

HOME (Phily): AB:269, Runs: 32, HR's 12, RBI's 40, BA: .230, OBP: .348, SLG: .439, TB: 118
AWAY (Road): AB 267, Runs: 42, HR's 21, RBI's 46, BA: .270, OBP: .387, SLG: .577, TB: 154

Those are crazy splits, and make Burrel one hell of a sleeper on a new team. I'd take the leap.
