Pickup an available OF

Postby enigma77 » Sat May 01, 2010 11:50 pm

You can see my roster on my signature. I know my OF lacks power, but I'm okay with that for now. Hopefully by the ASB, I'll have three 1B lighting it up and can deal one for a category need. That being said, Fukudome, Heyward, and A. Jackson are currently available. It seems by browsing the forums that most seem to think Jackson won't keep up his current pace. I'm thinking of dropping DeJesus for Heyward, but want a second opinion. I'm already doing horribly in AVG and Heyward wouldn't help much there.

Also, K.Johnson is surprisingly still available. It almost seems like a no brainer to grab him, but I'm apprehensive for some reason. Anyone have any insight there?

I haven't played Fantasy in two years, and decided at the last minute to play this year. I'm just hesitant at the moment. I usually don't have such trouble making decisions like this.

I can't believe Heyward is available. I'd definitely drop DeJesus to get him. I don't know who you'd drop to get Kelly Johnson, so I'd hold off. I like Prado over him. You don't have any bench pitchers?

Heyward. Geez, I wish I was in a league where he was still available. Got to wonder about that.

If you don't believe Jackson can keep up with his base, then I would have the same doubt with Kelly Johnson as well. In normal situation, I would pick up Hayward, since this kid can absolutely swing. However, you said you are terrible on avg, I may pick up Johnson here, because Hayward will hurt your avg pretty bad for the whole season to come. By the way, do you play keeper league? It will be also helpful to post your lineup so people can help a little bit better.
