Ryan Ludwick vs Adam Lind

I am crazy for thinking Adam Lind could outperform Ludwick this season?

I am crazy for thinking Adam Lind could outperform Ludwick this season?

One fantasy website says this:

At age 25, Lind seemed like he might be poised for a breakout season if given an every day opportunity. Unfortunately, Lind will not get that opportunity. It appears he will be in a platoon situation with Kevin Millar as the team’s DH. This is a direct result of Lind’s inability to hit lefties. For his career, he is hitting just .240/.293/.359 against them.

None the less, I've got him sitting my fantasy team's 32 man roster (12 team).

This year, yes. Lind should have a higher BA, but Ludwick will dominate in HRs (Even assuming a sizable regression for Ludwick) and will have higher Run and RBI. I worry about Lind's 16 BBs in 350 PAs which will cause a weak run total even if he becomes a full-time player.

I'm not a Lind fan personally.

Ludwick has way more power than Lind.

Lind looking quite beastly tonight...

Are we sure he is not playing everyday???

He will definitely be playing every day vs right handed pitching. I wouldn't start him vs lefties anyways. I think the Jays will be platooning Overbay vs lefties but you could also see Bautista take some starts away from Lind and Snider vs lefties.

4/5 with 6 RBIs today

I'd still gladly trade Lind for Ludwick and I'm not a huge Ludwick fan.

I think Lind should be on a team even in shallow leagues but he doesn't excite me much overall.
