Callaspo or Burriss

Postby HldOnMgnolia » Fri May 15, 2009 2:59 pm

I can't see holding two guys with (2B/SS) eligibility as bench players on my team. Burriss is leading off and steals bases. Also, Callaspo might see his playing time reduced when Gordon comes back / if Aviles ever gets his act together. Anybody see any other reason to favor one over the other?

I like Burriss over Callaspo. I think his job is more secured and his SB/Runs scored will be greater batting leadoff. He also has picked it up as of late.

The thing about Callaspo is that he's had a lot more AB's in the minor leagues than Burriss. Also, his minor league SLG % is .437 and Burriss' is .337. Callaspo hardly ever K's, too.

My roster dilemma is this: I have Uggla and Theriot at 2B and SS. Obviously, Uggla's been benched for weeks and I'm playing Callaspo most days. I've also added Chris Coghlan who has 2B (+OF soon) eligibility and I'd like to hold on to him rather than having Burriss and Callaspo. It's a cluster-f@@k. Any suggestions?

Can you try moving someone in a trade?

Go with the guy with more upside. And that's Callaspo.

Can you help with mine? viewtopic.php?t=385230
