Drop S.Drew for A.Gonzalez?

Postby captkirkcud » Sun May 02, 2010 7:49 pm

Would you drop Stephen Drew to pick up Alex Gonzalez or should i give him a little more time? He can't hit lefties for shit
and Gonzalez seems to be putting up way better #'s so far.

Stephen Drew will outproduce Alex Gonzalez on the year. If you play the hot-hand now, you will just have to replace him once he gets cold down the road. If you are okay with that, then go ahead.

If I had to guess I would say Gonzalez is going to come back to earth and Drew should start hitting so I would stay put.
League Setup:
13 Team Points League
6 Hitters 3 Pitchers (Positions don't matter)
1B = 1, 2B = 2, 3B = 3, HR = 4, RBI = 1
Win = 12, Save = 5

I would say yes. At this moment, it appears that Drew will have a similar year as he did last year. IMO, Alex Gonzalez will have no problem to exceed that type of number. The only problem with Gonzalez, as those "ESPN experts" point out, is his injury history. I think Gonzalez is a good makeshift SS for now (I picked him up because my Rollins got hurt) and I don't worry about what would "potentially" happen to him in 2 or 3 months.

I've gotta agree with that analysis. Gonzo is hot right now, but Drew is a pretty sure thing over a 162 game schedule.

If you dump S. Drew, you are pretty much guaranteed someone will snap him up.
