Pick up Ortiz or Aviles?

Postby jacktowner » Thu May 06, 2010 12:21 pm

I know there are some question marks and concerns surrounding both Ortiz - big slump - and Aviles - Tommy John surgery last year - but my infield is struggling and I could use a nice pick up. Should I drop someone for either Ortiz or Aviles? If so, who?

Thanks, leave a link for return help.

I like Aviles, sure is a better hitter then Betencourt.

The only guy that stands out for me, would be Hairston. But he is hot at the moment too. Cabrera is and will be the everyday SS in San Diego.

Would you pick up Aviles over Ortiz?

I'd like to sit on Hairston for a week to see if he can stay hot, but I'm not attached to him by any means. Another guy I'm worried about is Stubbs - he may be losing his leadoff spot very soon.
