Loney without question. He won't give you power, but he'll be a guy who you can consistently plug into your lineup for solid production whenever you need it. Conversely, Branyan is one of the streakiest hitters in the league. He can be a fantasy monster when he's hot, but that only lasts for so long. He's worthless the other 90% of the time. He wont keep this up. Maybe ride Branyan until he cools and then hop on the Loney bandwagon?

Thanks. I'm just wondering if there is even a reason to hold on to loney based on my roster... I have pujols permanetnl plugged at 1b.. and with 5 strong OF on my lineup, I highly doubt I'll be able to even use loney... would it worth just picking up a middle IF? or even a C? since that's my weaker areas?

Branyan while he's swinging a hot bat.

What MI are avialable?
