If you have nobody else to play 3rd, i'd have to pick up Lowell.

But if you have ANYONE that's expendable, you gotta pick up BW since it's a dynasty. He might not get playing time in the near future, but they certainly can't keep him down in the minors or on the bench forever.

At 1st thought Lowell, but saw it was a dynasty. Absolutely get Wood.

I think the obvious choice here is Lowell. Even if it's a keeper I doubt Wood would be one of your top guys... now if there's more specific detail about you retaining all of your guys or a large number then Wood becomes an option. But for this season Lowell is the far better play.

Since you are asking about a BACKUP, I would take Wood, assuming you are satisfied with your current starter.

Help with mine?

I totally disagree. What has Wood done in the majors? He has had chances to prove is the STUD is suppose to be and fails. I beleive he is nothing more then an AAAA player. I think you go with the proven hitter in Lowell.And it isn't even close.

Thank you for all the posts - I currently have Ryan Zimmerman, which isn't saying much - but definitely a platoon would be in order...

Thanks again

I would take Lowell...take the player who will help you now, instead of the player who might help you a couple years down the road
