Alcides for me. You could use the speed he gives you.

Hal·la·day, n. 1. every fifth day in Philadelphia. 2. a day of rest for the bullpen. 3. innings eater. 4. doc. 5. ace.

Agreed. I could probably outrun half of your team.

alcides is fast, but where is he gonna hit in that order? is he just speed?

If you have speed on ur team id go with yunel..So underrated and he has been getting better and better each year

That's a tough one because Yunel is a quality player, but your team lacks speed. I think I'd still go with Yunel although it's close.

Take the "Y" and trade one of your OFs for a speedster.

Agree. Your team needs some speed, but Yunel I think is better than Alcides in every area otrher area. Ill take the all around better player and search for speed in other ways.

I could not simply give up Yunel for nothing.... You have to look for a trade and fall back to Escobar. If I can't make a trade, I sit on Yunel even with the speed concern.

HELP ME? It's a quickie.
