Wandy or Ian Stewart in dynasty.. need 3b

Postby cstorms » Wed Feb 17, 2010 1:05 pm

I am building a dynasty team and all of the decent 3b options are gone. I am about to pick and Wandy and Stewart are out there. I do not have a 3b at the moment so I think I need to grab Stewart. I have 2 pitchers so far, greinke and wainwright. What do you guys think? WHIR

Will Ian Stewart improve this season? After hitting .200 last year it's hard to imagine him doing worse. I'd still take Wandy, I'm just not big on Stewart at all.

YOU HAVE TO GO IAN STEWART.

Dynasty league and all other 3B are gone? its a no brainer to me. Pitching can always be found.

Stewart was a career .293 hitter in the minors. He's definitely not as bad as his average showed last year and he still 25HRs and stole 7 bases. He could EASILY hit 30HRs and steal 10 this year and bat .260+.

a 30/10 and .260 3B sounds better than wandy.... and there's room for more with Stewart.

Plus he's a rocky? That line up has some serious upside with all the youth and Coors field.

Good Luck.

I'll go with Stewart as well. If he sprays more LD than he did last season, his BABIP and his average should increase. Wandy is solid, but I think '09 is an outlier for him.

Wandy aint exactly a spring chicken either at 31 years old... I'd take the youth in Stewart as well as the upside in a Dynasty league.

I would go with Ian Stewart as well. He will be especially valuable if you have an MI spot or an open spot at 2B.

It's a fantasy lounge invasion, Hey Oddman. I'm surprised no one has my back on this one. In 734 major league at bats, you'd think we'd see something by now. I just can't swallow a .230 BA. I need to see it before I buy it I guess.

This year, I'll take Wandy. In a keeper? Stewart is defensible.

Stewart turns 25 this june, he's never had a full seasons AB's.

25HRs 7sb's in 425 plate appearances wasn't a sparkle at all to you TD Store?

He's young and was a career .293 minor leaguer. Alot of guys dont show up til they're 27, Ian's only 25....
