I haven't heard much about LaPorta other than the fact that his good and has a chance to be like Braun or Longoria in there rookie years so I would do it. Thanks for the help on mine.

Burrell plays everyday and LaPorta doesn't. Gotta stick with the veteran for now.

Can you help out on mine? viewtopic.php?t=383402

if you acutally start Burrell go with him - if you are taking a chance on a bench player go with LaPorta

I'm not sure I'd do it. LaPorta has a big upside, but it'll be hard for him to top Burrell in HRs and RBIs. He'll likely best him in AVG and have a great season. If you needed bench help at 1B or CI, where LaPorta qualifies, it might be different, but I'd stick with Burrell's consistency.

Please help in return:
