Quentin for BJ Upton?

Postby HulkSmash » Sat May 30, 2009 11:46 am

I've got Quentin (15-day DL) and was offered BJ Upton for him. Is the general thought that BJ will turn things around or should I leave my team as-is? I haven't seen him do anything great, but Quentin on the bench is killing me. Thoughts? WHIR

Thanks!

It's not that Quintin is hurt and on your bench you also have Manny who is Suspended.

Is this a keeper or seasonal league, roto or H2H. I think that will determine the direction you may want to go.
Quintin can mash and is a fantasy stud IMO. He is hurt but I am sure he will return to form once he figures out the heel thing.

Quintin hits for power (36 in 480 AB on 2008) Upton strikes out more, has less power but can steal you bases 44 last year.

I really think it depends on your league and scoring.

Sorry, forgot to include league info. It's a H2H points league. It's built mostly for power hitters and pitchers, which is why I don't have a whole slew of base-stealers currently. I'm leaning towards just riding this out and putting Quentin back in when his foot heals. Now watch, BJ goes on a HR tear.....
