Should I add Jim Thome or Rickie Weeks???? WHIR

Thome had a monster day today. Will Weeks perform better than Polanco? Let me know what you guys think.

I'd stick with Polanco. Weeks' hitting still scares me. Until he shows he can hit for some AVG, he hurts fantasy teams too much. You can count on Polanco to hit around .300 and score a lot of runs.

I think Thome will have another solid .275/30+/90+ season, so is worth a pick up if you can fit him in somewhere. That being said, I don't really see where you can play him at present.

Hope that helps.

Drop Polanco and Nady for both. Weeks is a 20/20 player, while Thome is still good for 30 HR and 100+ RBI.

Weeks has never come close to 20HR - he had 14 last year in 475ABs. He's a career .245 hitter. This is really a guy you want to be starting every day at 2B? Not a chance.
