Drop Molina for Ianetta? WHIR (I promise)

Postby timvegas » Thu Apr 23, 2009 6:33 pm

Ianetta is tantalizing me on the wire...should I leave well enough alone and stick with Molina as my only catcher?

I am in a 12 team Mixed Keeper H2H

Because they're pretty similar, I'd stick with Molina especially with Iannetta coming out of the gates terribly slow.

Id shoot for ianetta. He is my one and only catcher right now and he is off to a horrible start but Im thinking he will heat up soon. Much more upside IMHO.

I would go with Ianetta. If you compare his potential to Molina's its not even close. He should get things going.

Help?

I agree, I have Ianetta and If someone offered me Molina right now I would decline.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, Ianetta is a career .241 hitter whose hype is based on HR power alone. Molina batted .275 in 2007 and .304 last year.

But yeah, I still say Ianetta.

Sorry, but I think you guys are nuts. Fantasy is about performance, not hope. Molina has 13 RBIS, bats cleanup and plays everyday. He is batting .333 and is about as solid a producer as you can get in the cather position. Ianetta has potential but is batting what .116, a couple of RBI's and is a horrid producer right now. Sure, if he catches fire in the next month go for him, but at least you know what you'll get with Molina.
