Which Two Would YOU Want?

[L-Dawg]

I'm going to take the names out of this one to see just based on stats alone who you'd want on your team. I'm in an H2H Points League

Option 1

Player 1 OF .300 Avg 35 HR 120 RBI 35 2B 100 R 65 Walks 10 SB
Player 2 3B .270 Avg 21 HR 80 RBI 40 2B 75 R 60 Walks 10 SB

Option 2

Player 1 OF .305 Avg 22 HR 105 RBI 40 2B 80 R 53 Walks 0 SB
Player 2 3B .287 Avg 30 HR 110 RBI 35 2B 92 R 65 Walks 1 SB

So looking at that, which is the best combination for a points league in your opinion? I'll be happy to weigh in if you've got a thread out there.

imo option B... better average, even homers, more rbi, about even runs, even doubles, few less walks, and few less SB... Option B tho imo although they are about dead even, you can make up the few walks and SB...

help me out...

I would go option B the Average and RBI's tend to make me think they would be more of a lock to be the solid contributor you need in a points league.

Depends on what the stats are worth in your points league.

Normal for a pts league: 1 for singles, 2 for doubles, 4 for HR, 1 for RBI, 1 for R, 2 for SB

[epp1e]

In that case, Option 1.

In that case, Option 1.

can i just ask why?

At this point I'll throw the players names out there and I should also mention that this is a keeper league, however, I'm playing to win this year.

Option 1 is Josh Hamilton and Alex Gordon

Option 2 is Magglio Ordonez and Aramis Ramirez.

I currently have Mags and Aramis on my team.

i like your side even with the player names alot better, you have 2 of the more consistant players in the leagues... and Gordon is JUNK imo...

The amount of doubles are roughly the same for both 1-2 combos, but for Option 1 it seems to be from speed / speed potential. The SBs in the league are given 2 points with like 20 more SBs, you're looking at 40 more points. HRs are given 4 points, and combo 1 has more of those too. Runs are about equal as well as are the aforementioned doubles. Option 2 is offering around 15 more RBIs, but 15 points vs. 40 points + extra points from HRs seems like no contest. Player 2 in combination 1 seems like a good player stuck on a bad team with high upside. The only piece I'm missing at the moment is plate appearances... which might sway my opinion again.

Edit: Seeing your post, looks like I was right about player 2 being a good player on a bad team, lol.
