Drop Young or Thome for Sandoval?

Postby go9ers » Fri May 15, 2009 4:55 pm

I have Atkins at 3B and he is hanging by a thread. Chris Young (Ari) and Thome are my only expendible players at this time. The following 3B are available:

Pablo Sandoval
Scott Rolen
Mark Teahen
3 DL guys: Gordon, Guillen, Encarnacion
Fontenot
Crede
Ian Stewart

Should I make a move with by dropping Young/Thome or just stay put and hope Atkins gets out of his slump?

Drop Young for Rolen and plug him in as a bandaid until Atkins turns things around.

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

Thanks for the help so far...one vote for Rolen. looks like Atkins is going to be riding the pine more, so i need to make a move. please let me know who i should shoot for.

I would drop Thome for Sandoval.......Thome days off are hard to predict, he is injury prone, and has low avg/high k's. Sandoval started slow the 1st couple of weeks, but has come around, reminds me of V Guerrero meets Tony Gwynn.....I've been very satisfied with him in my C position so far this year.

Help please: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=385469

Drop Young for Sandoval...If Atkins turns it around (or during a hot streak) you can play Sandoval at C if he qualifies in your league. If not, he may qualify pretty soon.

good luck
