Help me choose which OF to add! WHIR, as always.

Postby krunchyfrogg » Mon Jun 07, 2010 8:30 am

I'm playing in a 9 team league, and the OF's on the WW are pretty good. I'm looking at dropping Rasmus for one of these guys:

Adam Lind
Carlos Lee
Magglio Ordonez
Luke Scott
Ryan Ludwick
Nick Swisher
Alfonso Soriano


I could also hope to get Mike Stanton (he's not listed yet in this Yahoo! league, and I have the 4th Waiver spot).

Or should I just ride out Rasmus' hot streak? I think he's still sitting against LHP, which annoys the heck out of me.
Looking forward to back to back championships in 2011!

Magglio... He's been great all year, and has the track record to back it up... Rasmus is great too, but very inconsistent. And if you can roster Stanton somehow without giving up too much, I would. He's gonna be great, the only question is when...

Thanks for your help on mine!
Thank you to soty for hooking me up with another awesome sig!

I'd also go for Lee. His correction is here and he has a lot of correcting to do. Rasmus is a year away still, because he is still sitting against LHPs (as you said). The acquisition of Randy Winn by the Cards will only make that worse.

If you can't get Lee for any reason, I'd also consider Soriano. He has been scuffling some the last 2 weeks but his approach to begin the season was impressive. I'd rank him ahead of Rasmus week in and week out (they are actually similar players). Mags isn't a bad option either, I just haven't ever cared much for him. His consistency this year is fantastic but I don't see him popping up with 40 point weeks anymore.

I like Magglio...but you can't go wrong with C. Lee either.

Rasmus is still not consistent enough. His month of May was very bad

I Wouldn't count on getting Stanton..

Grab C Lee or Maggs. Tough call and cant go wrong with either one, although the Stro's are just hot right now and they'll soon realize that their season is a joke and there's no real incentive to keep playing all out. As much as i like C Lee, and dislike Maggs, personally, i'd grab Maggs here.


good luck and thanks for the help w/ mine

I happen to like Ludwick here, but if not him, I would take Ordonez, and then Lind...in any event, I would definitely replace Rasmus.

Thanks for help on mine.

MAGGLIO! I cant believe he is available! Swisher > Ludwick > Lind after that.
