Hunter Pence or Jay Bruce?

Postby jarobert » Fri May 14, 2010 8:14 am

10 Team Roto League.

I want to pick up one of these guys for my Utility spot. Since they both seem to be heating up neither will likely be available past this week.

Incidentally, I'll be dropping Kelly Johnson to make this move - already have Cano.

What do you do here?

Yeah you have to go with Bruce. Pence is what he is, he won't kill you in any category but won't help out too much either

Pence. Pence has had an awful start to the season, but he's on a run now, 3 HRs in recent games, and will outperform Bruce when all is said and done this fantasy season. My take anyway.

All of you saying Bruce - what do you except from him for the rest of the year. He's carrying a .333 BABIP vs RHPs right now and his strike out % is in the mid-20's, but he still only has a .273 average vs RHPs (.25something overall). It doesn't appear he'll hit for much higher average, but right now his power hasn't been there. People still thinking 30-35+ HR for the year, or have those expectations come down some?

Gotta go with Bruce, his upside is much higher than Pence IMO.
