Cantu, Hardy, or Lopez? WHIR!!

Postby woowoo crew » Sun Mar 29, 2009 4:29 pm

Just did my live draft. Head to head 6 team league with these scoring categories: R, H, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, SLAM, W, CG, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

Here's my team:
C: Mauer
1B: Fielder
2B: Kinsler
SS: Alexei Ramirez
3B: David Wright
IF: Tulowitzki
OF: Braun, Bay, Crawford, Kemp
UTIL: Pence
Bench: Iannetta (since Mauer won't start the year), Nelson Cruz, Felipe Lopez (2B, 3B, SS, OF eligibility)
SP: Webb, Shields, Liriano
RP: Papelbon, Soria, Jenks
P: Nolasco, Gallardo
Bench: Wainwright, Josh Johnson

Here's my question: Jorge Cantu and JJ Hardy are both available. Should I drop Felipe Lopez for one of these guys? I like Hardy, but with Ramirez and Tulowitzki, I really don't need a SS. Since Lopez qualifies for so many positions, I grabbed him. However, Cantu would give me a good back-up at 1B and 3B. Who do you like?
C: McCann
1B: Konerko
2B: Cano
SS: Reyes
3B: Freese
IF: Encarnacion
OF: Ethier, Jennings, Willingham, Quentin
UTIL: Freeman
BN: De Aza, Pagan, Aviles
DL: Ellsbury
P: Felix, Price, Buchholz, Lynne, J. Johnson, Wandy, Valverde, Jansen, Chapman, Betancourt

i like Hardy and Cantu better than Lopez. i do like Lopez and think he is going to do well this season leading off for Arizona, but Hardy and Cantu have greater value. you could pick up Hardy and then trade one of Ramirez or Tulowitzki for help elsewhere.
because of your cats i think i like Cantu for better numbers than Hardy. you could take Hardy and then trade one of your other SS, or you could take Cantu and use him at UT and then trade one of your OF.

help?

As much as I like Lopez, Cantu should be more valuable this year. Especially since you don't have a backup 1B.

I do like Lopez this season, Hardy too, but Cantu is the right move for your team. He gives you depth at the corners and will probably put up the best stats this year.

Cantu or Hardy with Hardy being a tad safer than Cantu, but Cantu has more upside IMO

I like Hardy the most, but with the positional flexibility and chance for good SB #'s, I'd probably hold on to Lopez. Cantu is typically underrated, but I've never been a big fan.
