10 Team Roto - Re-draft (Deep 29 man rosters, 15 position players start)

Who is a better temporary replacement for Kinsler -

Alberto Callaspo or Sean Rodriguez

Rodriguez for me.

Right now I would say Sean Rodriguez based on health. Callaspo still hasn't gotten into a game after that oblique strain. KC is saying he'll be ready for opening day, but it's still cloudy. I'm surprised he's actually still out there in your league. You should pick him just on speculation.

Still, I remind myself not to expect too much from Rodriguez, as he's always had a high strikeout rate. And if Callaspo is healthy, he's gonna be hitting 3rd. S-Rod has not been guaranteed every day at bats, but when he is in the lineup he will hit 8th or 9th.

I have Callaspo now and am wondering if I should switch to Rodriguez.

Depends a bit on your league's stats.

If your league counts doubles and triples and average and singles I would take Callaspo. After all, the guy had well over 100 singles, 41 doubles, and I think 7-10 triples. 70+ rbis too, so maybe he comes close to those again if he definitely bats third.

If, however, it is more of a 5x5 situation, I think you get better production powerwise from SRod. Callaspo is indeed recovering with the rib/oblique thing, but I have been unable to pounce of SRod for the fact that I just don't feel comfy with teams like Tampa and COlorado who have TONS of talent and you are uncertain if a guy will play. Then again, Ben Zobrist got his abs.

All told, refer to my notes above regarding your league categories and act accordingly.

hep me out?

I'd definitley give Sean Rodriguez a shot...

Callaspo doesn't offer much. Go big or go home with Rodriguez.

Callaspo is great for points leagues as he consistently has multi hit games and hits a ton of doubles. All while hitting .300 and having a 1:1 K:BB ratio. If he was in a more potent lineup he wouldn't be so underrated. He gets no love.
