4 guys for 2 Spots (WHIR)

Postby Airborne24 » Tue Jul 21, 2009 4:21 pm

12 Team ESPN standard 5x5 H2H league, 4 OF spots, 1 UTIL

Who would you start tonight? My options at my 4th OF spot and UTIL are:
Dexter Fowler (In CO and has been RAKING recently)
Nick Swisher (who stinks, but is going against a pitcher with an ERA of nearly 7)
Mike Lowell (who has been pretty hot BA wise in 3 games off the DL, but isn't knocking anyone in or scoring at all)
Jason Kubel (might not play against the lefty, but I won't know until it's too late to plug in anyone else, would normally be an automatic sit down against the lefty, but went 3-3 with a HR and 4 RBI last night on my bench with that logic)

My other 3 OFers are Manny, Hamilton and McLouth.

Also, my 1B is Prince Fielder, my 3B is Chone Figgins, and my CI spot is taken up by Derrek Lee

Thanks!

Fowler and Lowell. Kubel has been bad against lhp for too long for one game to change my thinking, and Swisher hasn't been hitting lhp either for the last couple years.

Fowler and Lowell are the best choices, and safest.
