Pat Burrell or Jason Kubel?

[Strokin Shortstop]

Pat Burrell just cleared waivers and I am thinking about picking him up and dropping Jason Kubel. Any thoughts?

Also, Dexter Fowler is available as well. Our league doesn't weight steals that much, but he looks good right now. Is he a better pickup?

Scoring below:
1B - Singles 1 point
2B - Doubles 2 points
3B - Triples 3 points
BB - Walks (Batters) 1 point
CS - Caught Stealing -1 point
CYC - Hitting for the Cycle 5 points
GDP - Ground Into Double Plays -1 point
HP - Hit by Pitch 1 point
HR - Home Runs 4 points
KO - Strikeouts (Batter) -0.5 points
R - Runs 1 point
RBI - Runs Batted In 1 point
SB - Stolen Bases 2 points

Keep Kubel - Brake out year - Huge minor league numbers - Comparable to morneu's minor legue numbers - MORE RBI OPPORTUNITIEs COMING WHEN MAUER RETURNS.


Fowler is only a sped guy this year - Power won't come until next year and beyong - maybe 15 30 or up to 20hr 30 sb's.

What about dropping Francouer for Burrell?

[Hey Hermano]

I'd drop Francouer for Burrell. Pat the Bat is good for homers and RBI, and is a also a walk-drawing machine. Francouer... is not very good. No plate discipline.

[COOPERSTOWN]

Nope - Keep Francouer - When braking into the majors he was compared to Mat Holiday and played for Team USA as a rookie two WBC ago.

If he can start for the USA he can start foe your team. Burrells average will kill you and francouer will post similar rbi's and hr's and most importnat...he's younger.

[Hey Hermano]

I'm going to have to disagree with you. Francoeur didn't start for Team USA in this year's WBC, that argument doesn't hold up.

I don't see how youth factors into the equation. It's not a keeper league. He'll swing at anything. Anything. His power numbers have dropped each year (ISO-P dropping at least 30 points a season for three years) and he's a long ways from achieving his potential.

If anything, his plate discipline has gotten worse - he's swinging at fewer strikes and swinging at more pitches out of the zone.

Burrell's a better long-term option. I still think the Twins will sit Kubel against lefties when he cools down.

Can you return the favor? viewtopic.php?t=382095

I picked up Burrell and dropped Francouer. Should I pick Francouer back up and drop Kubel instead?

Also, Hermida, Daniel Murphy, and Werth are available.
