Hold on to Gordan, he will come around. Rolen is at the end of his career and Figgins may be a viable alternative, but he will maybe steal 40 bases and get you 3 HR 40 RBI and bat .280. Gordan has a much higher ceiling.
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

Yeah, I'd get Figgins. More of a solid contributor. He will outscore Gordon this year (maybe not next), and is more of a lock for his numbers. The only problem with Figgs is you'll need him to stay healthy. But if he's available, I'd bet on nobody else picking up Gordon off of the WW.

Actually I'd say that Gordan outscores Figgins by 40 + points . . .

I'd keep Gordon for the time being...he been touted to have a breakout season soon and you would be kicking yourself if this year is it. I know thowse strikeouts are worrisome but with KC definitely improving this year (I think) I'd stand pat anyway.

I can't tell you how many times I've been offered Figgins over the last two years. I think he's a good player but every time he's available there is never a time when I've thought he would make a difference in my team.
