Do you drop Iannetta for Olivo?

Postby LloydChristmas » Mon Jul 06, 2009 8:58 pm

So far this year:

Olivo:
.249 Avg
13 HRs
34 RBIs

Iannetta:
.231 Avg
10 HRs
28 RBIs

The decision for me comes down to potential. Iannetta is still young and hasn't exactly established his ceiling. Olivo has never hit more than 16 HRs in his career and has never batted over .263 in a full season. Iannetta hit 22 HRs and went .264 in 333 ABs (about 2/3 of a season) last year.

The kicker is that Ryan Doumit is available and will probably return the first week after the ASB. Do I drop Iannetta for Olivo, drop Iannetta for Olivo AND pick up Doumit (who I can stash on the DL for the time being), or stick with Iannetta?

I always help in return. Check my track record if that sort of thing is possible.

Thanks for the help...as you can see, I've been dealing with Iannetta's ups and downs as well. Not sure if your league is a keeper or not, but you probably wouldn't waste a keeper spot on a catcher anyway, so I say you ride whoever's hot. If you can pick up Doumit and stash him, I would do so. I like his potential more than Iannetta or Olivo for the rest of the season.

Cheers.
