Jason Kubel or Billy Butler? WHIR

Postby sigriffey » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:46 pm

Who would you rather have in your utility this year? This is a head to head league, with the following stat cats: R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG.

i disagree... kubal is set to have a great year this year... he batted .270 with 20hrs and that was in part time duty... kubal is locked in as a pretty much everyday dh with some time in the outfeild to give the other 4 breaks... i really think he is going to refind the form they drafted him for... he was a mauer mourneau prospect before he destroyed his knee a few years back and is just finding his groove again... that just what i have been hearing being from mn... and he doesnt strike out like butler or have mike jacobs to fight for a job with

When you're this deep in the draft, may as well take the players with the most upside. That would be the 23 year old Butler.

Kubel statistically makes sense, but Butler has the upside advantage.

In essentially a total bases league, gotta go with the guy who gets the most plate appearances...Butler would be my choice.

Butler for sure over Kubel.
Butler spent the off season working out strong and has lost wait and gotten stronger. Expect more HR's and better all around numbers. He is more talented than Kubel and will have better numbers in his 3rd season.

I'll take Butler's upside every time. It's only a matter of time until he breaks out. He has a TON of upside.
