LaPorta vs. Chris Davis keeper league ----WHIR!

[mjoyce103]

Hi guys,

I'm in a 12-team, 5x5 roto auction KEEPER league

Getting a little concerned with Chris Davis's playing time (say tonight) as it's looking like he might be getting platooned? Matt LaPorta is available, is/was a top prospect, and has started off nicely. Should I make the switch? Other ideas?

I think Davis is going to get more playing time then LaPorta over the course of the season. LaPorta will play while people are still injured. Garko isn't platooning with Davis from what I've read, not even against lefties. Right now Davis is who I would go with, but that could change pretty fast of course

I go LaPorta. Cleveland is ready to play him every day - once Branyan is back, LaPorta goes to LF. Crash needs to dominate in the first half or else he loses his job to Smoak.
