Alexei Ramirez or Yunel Escobar? WHIR

[j24jags]

Preseason I had Alexei a little higher than Yunel, but Alexei has struggled mightily and Yunel has been hurt. I'm beginning to doubt that Alexei will ever figure it all out.

Who do you guys like for the remainder of this season in a 5x5?

Leave a link, thanks

I think that's a tough call. I don't think we've seen the "real" Escobar yet. A. Ramirez has struggled just as much but as far as I know he's been healthy. I think I'd go with Escobar and hope that he clicks it into high gear now that he's healthy again.

A healthy escobar will be more productive, if less sexy on account of the lack of SB. But it's not like Alexei is swiping 30, so all told, I like Escobar.

That's my thoughts, I'm beginning to doubt that Alexei will ever swipe 25+ let alone this season...

I'd go with Escobar!! Even though ATL has been hot and cold so far this season, you can never underestimate Glaus, Chipper, and Heyward which can only help Yunel's stock!!

Thanks for the help on my post!!

I'd take Escobar. I think he can be a .310/18/70/5 guy every year. Plus, as said above, the Braves line-up is better than CHW.

I'll go with the consensus and take Yunel.

I haven't given up on Alexei yet and he has shown signs of life of late, but Yunel is much less prone to pronounced hot/dry spells and he has just as much upside as Alexei in everything but SB. And like others have pointed out the difference in SBs probably won't amount to much more than 10.

Thanks for the help on mine.

This is pretty much what I was thinking, he can have a better line and waaaay more reliability once he gets into a groove. I know this is literally the most said quote in fantasy baseball history, but its true, I had him for 2 years: Alexei Ramirez is a Bum.
Advice?

I have both Alexei and Escobar (both drafted) on my team and I have high hopes for both of them. It seems Alexei is coming around after the last 2 games [5/7, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 SB], and I think it's only a matter of time before Escobar hits his stride. Neither will put up huge numbers mind you, but they should be worth rostering when all is said and done.
