Mike Fontenot or Kelly Johnson

[gbill2004]

I currently have Mike Fontenot at 2B. Kelly Johnson is available on the waivers. Should I drop Fontenot for Kelly Johnson?

I think Johnson will end up with better numbers at the end of the season.

Can you return the favor? viewtopic.php?t=383900

Thanks! Anyone else?

I actually like Mike more. Both are similar players, but Fontenot hits in a better lineup. Hurts that A-ram is out, but it probably means Mike plays more often than not and maybe moves up the lineup a little. Kelly Johnson is a very streaky guy, and I am a former owner so I might be biased. Braves lineup is pretty bad this year, IMO. Chipper and McCann all are having problems (Chipper is glass and McCann needs them).

NOOOOO. Keep Fontenot. He's a much more consistent player than Kelly Johnson, and he has more power in him than a lot of people give him credit for. Also, Kelly Johnson is a horrifically streaky player, he started the season off pretty well, but the dark-side of said streakiness earned him a platoon at 2B with Omar Infante, so he's not even getting full-time at-bats at the moment. I'd stick with Fontenot and ride it out until the Cubs lineup is back to full strength.
