Having a little bit of a quandry deciding who to start next week in my h2h weekly changes league at U and DH spots.It comes down to 4 players for two spooots all elegible at both.

H, Matsui
H. Pence
J. Borbon
K.Blanks

Conventional wisdom I think would be start two proven players --Matsui and Pence. However couple thoughts come to mind. Im little light on speed --I have Rollins/Victorino/Werth from Phils but thats about it --I dont count Furcal as speed guy anymore. So Borbon looks good.

Blanks looks hot now and his first three games are at Arizona whose pitchers other than Haren are suspect and then at Rockies where he catches back of their rotation.
Mean while Pence gets to face Lincecum and Cain right out of the box then Phillies back of rotation is nothing special.


Thoughts please?

I guess all this depends on what the rest of your lineup looks like too. What are the stat categories?

Matsui is obviously not gonna help your SB numbers. He may hit some HR's and get some RBI's. He'd be better valued if OBP and SLG were categories instead. Pence is more of a 5 tool guy, I like him the most on this list.

Borbon is a better fit than Blanks in my opinion. More SB's, he won't hurt your AVG as much as Blanks. Plus, Blanks plays in a horrible hitting park. Borbon is a lead off hitter in a powerful hitting lineup. I'd expect a lot of Runs from Borbon. Nothing stands out from Blanks as being worthy of starting.

Can you help me?
