Best all-around speedster: Borbon, Rajai Davis, or Morgan?

Postby thejusman1 » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:34 am

Hitting categories for this league are:

R, HR, RBI, AVG, OBP, SLG, NSB

I currently have Rajai Davis, but a few impatient owners cut bait with Borbon and Nyjer Morgan. I was wondering if either would be an upgrade over Davis, who has recently come under a bit of a slump himself. I'm particularly interested in Nyjer Morgan (does he maintain a higher average than Davis)?

I like Morgan better but he has struggled so far this season but last season he did very good . Morgan will have a better average than Davis.

obp, ops, nsb

the addition of these cats makes davis>morgan

if you think borbon will bounce back, he is best of all.

that is a very, very tough call.. All are pretty even. I'm not confident in borbon bouncing back, soI think I would rank Davis first, then Morgan, then Borbon. But if I was in a draft/auction at the beginning of the year, I probably would have tiered them together with Borbon on top, then Davis and Morgan.

Yeah, this is a really tough call.

I'd just like to say that OPS is not a category, SLG is. I agree that it's coming down between keeping Rajai or making a switch to Nyjer Morgan. I'm pretty sure if Borbon shows a pulse or is moved back to lead-off, I could snag him off FA. Since this is a limited moves league (50 total), I'm inclined to just wait it out with Rajai a few more weeks until a clearer winner out of these 3 emerge... unless I can get a consensus otherwise here.

Bumping this again... Davis seems like he's in the doghouse with 3 games on the bench in a row... wait it out, or swap with Nyjer Morgan, who seems to be heating up? And Borbon, who is also heating up, is still available...

I like Davis over Morgan but it's close.
I have Davis too, I've benched for a couple of days straight. Just not hitting the ball or getting on base for that matter.
But...Morgan has a better team behind him. Nats are hitting well, and Morgan has a better career OBP.
Davis will get you more steals though.

Just strictly speed, I'd go Rajai. But the A's kinda scare me. If you wanted the best all around, I'd go with Morgan. Staying away from Borbon..

I like davis, he is incredibly fast! Borbon is slumping and hasn't show me anything that I can believe in.

With Raj in the doghouse i just dropped him and picked up C. Gonzalez. In your case of Borbon or Morgan. I would take Morgan. I like Raj speed but to many if's with the biggest if in Triple A.
