ARod backup

[Horned Frog]

I have a choice of Alex Gordon, Ed Encarnacion, Reynolds, Carlos Guillen, or Glaus.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thx,

H.F.

I take Gordon here, mostly because Glaus is likely to be on the DL to start the year himself.

Gordon's got a lot of upside left, and that's not a bad way to spend a roster spot 'til A-Rod's healthy and beyond.

EE is my second choice.

Thx Tuttle. I agree and have Gordon as my starter but nice to have a secondopinion, especially when it agrees.

Agree here, Gordon for sure. Who knows, this could be a breakout year for him as well. If you get lucky and he works out, you can look to trade him for solid value once Arod is back. I don't think you have that possibility with the other choices

I'd go with Carlos Guillen who I still believe will put up respectable numbers....Gordon is hyped up every year and fails to deliver. could be his breakout year, but alteast with Guillen you know what your going to get it and its only until A-Rod comes back.
