Drop Jay Bruce for which of these FAs? Please help/WHIR

Postby D.Piston » Mon Jul 13, 2009 4:52 pm

I'm short an outfielder now, so unless Quentin comes back right after the All-Star break, I'm going to need somone to replace Jay Bruce.

Best FAs are Rasmus, Juan Rivera, Nyler Morgan, Luke Scott, McCutchen, Cameron, Matsui, Chris Young, and Kubel.

Hitters:
C M Wieters
1B Albert Pujols
2B Figgins
3B Álex Rodríguez
SS Tulo
OF Zobrist (2B, SS, OF elgible)
OF Rios
OF Jay Bruce
Util/1B Joey Votto

BN Uggla
DL Quentin
DL Betran


Pitchers:
SP Javier Vázquez
SP Josh Johnson
SP A.J. Burnett
SP Chris Carpenter
SP Max Scherzer
SP Kevin Slowey
SP Edwin Jackson
SP R Nolasco
RP Joakim Soria
RP JP Howell

hhhmm, i'm not an expert on any of these guys, but the guy that jumps off the page is luke scott. he may not sustain the hot bat all year, but you probably won't need him for the entire season. you gotta like the way he's swinging the bat now.

It looks like you're fine on steals...I'd rank them;

1. Luke Scott- He's been a big surprise this season and is on pace for 33 HR's...

2. Colby Rasmus - He's been hot as of late, and hitting in front of Pujols won't hurt his numbers or chances any.

3. Juan Rivera- On pace for 30 HR's but he's hand quad and hamstring issues recently.

However, watch Quentin's rehab the next couple of days...he quite possibly could be activated right after the break!

Maybe I'm going against the grain here, but I'd rank them like this:

Kubel
Rivera
McCutchen

Kubel's been really good this year, though slowed down a bit recently. I know Rivera's been hampered of late, but he's been dropping bombs, too. McCutchen looks like the real deal.

help?

as long as rivera is healthy i take him hands down. if not, my next choice would be kubel. a distant third would be rasmus and mccutchen.

I like Rasmus. He has been doing well lately and hitting before Pujols will only help him. Early NL Rookie of the Year candidate. I also like Scott, although he's rather streaky so be aware. But my pick would be Rasmus.

Not a keeper, right? (If it were, no way should Rasmus be unowned.) I'd rank them Scott, Rivera, Rasmus. All three are good enough that you can wait and see what happens with Quentin when he returns (unless your league requires you to activate anyone who's not on the dl).

And they're all very close, imo. I wouldn't fault anyone for picking Rasmus over the other two. And if somehow this is a keeper, I'm definitely grabbing Rasmus first.

It's not a keeper, but my gut is telling me to gamble on Rasmus...But my head is saying Rivera (if he's not going to have nagging injuries-I've used too many of my moves already.) Then again Luke Scott seems to be hitting homeruns every night he suits up...But will streak hit a wall? Anyone know about Rivera's injury?
