J.Upton for Ankiel?

Postby mmonteath » Sat Feb 28, 2009 9:06 pm

I am in a 10 team H2H league with fairly deep rosters. I usually like to keep one OF on my bench to sub in on off days for my starters. I have the chance to pick up Rick Ankiel but I would have to drop Justin Upton. It's not a keeper so what should I do?

I'd rather have Justin Upton. Upton has 30/30 potential where Ankiel only brings the power.
Jay Bruce is mah franchize. I love you Chris Davis!

I'd stick with Upton. Sure Ankiel will probably hit more HRs, but Upton's ceiling is tremendous and he could steal 20+ more bases than Ankiel.

And with it a horrible batting average, I expect to see a big drop in Ankiel's power numbers, if he was truely that good of a hitter he never would have attempted and failed to make a career the first time around as a pitcher. He's a bum.

Being that it's not a keeper league makes me stop and think only a second longer about which one to keep. I'd still stick with Upton...with another season under his belt I think he'll take another step forward. He's got the potential to hit just as many homers as Ankiel, the potential for stolen bases and the potential for a better batting average. Keeper or not, I'd stick with Upton.
