Ankiel or Adam Jones? WHIR (serious)

[Midnight_Toker]

8 man, H2H, Keeper.

Who would you rather have and why? Based on my team, I could see the need for more steals, as I think I have enough HR's and power numbers. Jones would definitely help in steals, but I wonder about his avg, and I really do like Ankiel. So, who do U think .. Ankiel or Jones?

this is a tough one but i would think adam jones has a higher ceiling which would make him more valuable......he was 3 for 3 today with 2 walks 2runs 2rbis......hits 2nd in that tough baltimore lineup. I prefer jones, i just dropped thome(another ankiel) for jones in a 10 teamer.

I think i like Adam jones especially since this is a keeper. If he continues to hit in the 2 hole he will only get better, remember the guy is young and has 5 tool skills just hasnt put it all together. In the long run i would rather have Jones

adam jones. little less power potential but has speed and probably better BA

Adam Jones for sure. Your team is stacked!!! Because of this, you can take on a youngster with major upside in Jones.

[lastingsgriller]

i'm not sure if you are aware of this, but you have Ryan Braun on your bench.. I would guess that he is going to have a better year than howie Kendrick..

[Pogotheostrich]

Go with Jones. You have the HR and need the SB plus Jones has more upside.

I'm guessing it's daily lineups and he cut and pasted from yesterday, when the Brew Crew wasn't playing. At least, I hope that's why Braun is benched, lol!

Anyway, I agree with the response about your team being stacked so you can afford to go high upside... and that would be Jones over Ankiel.

Help with mine please:
