MI for rest of season: Polanco or Kendrick?

Postby CharlatanSin » Sun Jul 19, 2009 9:55 am

I'm in a 5X5 roto, 12 team with large starting rosters (2 C, 5 OF, CI, MI). Who do you like better for the rest of the season? Both of these 2B are hitting well below their career average, and both are sporting low BABIP versus their careers. I could really use help in AVG and R. Who's a better play for the rest of the season? I currently have Polanco, but I feel Kendrick might have higher upside.

WHIR, leave a link.

I'd go with Kendrick, just based on upside and the potential for a few more steals.

Otoh, Kendrick's been hitting in the bottom 3rd of the lineup, and hasn't even been playing everyday, while Polanco's still batting second. I'd still roll the dice with Kendrick, but Polanco's the safer choice.

Polanco. I had the same choice and finally got tired of waiting on Kendrick to blossom. Have been waiting for years!
