Drop Derrek Lee for LaPorta? WHIR!

Postby Bosny on Sat May 02, 2009 2:33 am

lee is a bench player and off to a slow start. Have not even played him yet. Is upside enough on laporta to take a chance in a non keeper league and drop lee for him? Thanks!

If you like to gamble you could do worse but I'd probably stick with Lee. Too many Jeremy Hermidas/Billy Butlers for every Ryan Braun. I tend to get burned a lot when I go for new call-ups.

I agree it's a gamble... Lee is pretty much washed up, and LaPorta hasn't had a swing in MLB yet... I'm sure you could find someone a little safer to drop than Lee though, just in case LaPorta doesn't pan out to the hype. Post roster.

agreed, you must have a revolving door player or two that can be dropped.
