Lastings Milledge or Justin Upton?

Postby kweiss » Sat Apr 18, 2009 3:31 pm

Who is worth rostering at this point? Do I drop Milledge for Justin Upton? Standard Yahoo format, H2H scoring. My lineup:

C Chris Iannetta
1B Ryan Howard
2B Jose Lopez
3B Aramis Ramirez
SS Jhonny Peralta
OF Alfonso Soriano
OF Matt Kemp
OF Jacoby Ellsbury
UTIL Nelson Cruz
BN Andre Ethier
BN Elijah Dukes
BN Lastings Milledge

Of my pitchers the only droppable one is Chris Ray, but I might use him on a #11 Waiver Priority and pray I get Matt Wieters who was dropped today.

If I were you I'd pick up Justin Upton. Milledge is probably more major-league ready, but there's no guarantee he'll get regular major league playing time this season. Upton has had a bad week or two but is a legit talent.
On another note, picking up Wieters with your waiver priority is probably a good idea. But fyi he just got a hamstring cramp down in AAA.

I myself would take Upton. The other poster was right about Milledge: he's more ready, but he's on the outs with his organization, and that's worse than just being in the wrong spot in the order.
