Empty Slot on my Roster... Pick up Quentin? WHIR.

Postby NikeTxGuy » Thu May 06, 2010 1:30 am

Quentin is on waivers (I know he's batting below .200) but I know he has major upside, when healthy (I currently have an open roster spot for one player right now). Should I do it?

This question is impossible to answer without knowing the rest of your WW. Are guys out there with more upside? Gardner, Rasmus, Eric Young, Jaime Garcia, Fowler, etc. Overall I like Quentin but would take almost everyone I named over him.

Agreed with this poster ... if Quentin is available on waivers .... who else is out there? If you need power and HR's .. Quentin is surely going to break out of his slump.

Help me out man?

Wow, thats'a a lot of good FA's out there. I dont know if your team needs the power .. but if you still wanted a big bat, I'd probably take carlos lee over Quentin. If I were you, I'd probably be looking for a guy with speed that steals bases to compliment your power hitters.

Help me out now man?

Pickup Lee or Drew. Drew will have value in any league 10 teams and up, especially with the rash of SS injuries. Lee will get better. He's just in a slump. I'd EASILY take either over Quentin.
