Drop Lind for LaPorta?

Pretty frustrated Lind owner, LaPorta is jacking them like there is no tomorrow. Wondering if I should drop Lind for LaPorta or maybe drop Delmon Young instead.

Thanks for the help with mine. Lind has been frustrating this year, for sure. He's been partly the vicitm of a extremely poor BABIP. his batted ball profile is pretty good (few more FBs, fewer GBs) and maybe most telling, his IFFB rate is half what it was last year.

As for LaPorta, he's been on fire lately and this coudl finally be his breakout. I'd be inclined to part with Young first (stll not sold on him and he's only playing decently. Lind's power should be for real so i'd personally hang on to that.

I was strongly considering picking up LaPorta as well, and I'm pretty close to doing it. His home run today was pretty impressive, and he's playing for a clearly rebuilding Indian team. He'll get his share of at bats to get used to the bigs. I think I'd go for it.

another option would be to drop Bartlett, who is clearly proving that last year was a fluke. If it helps I'm in 8th place, and I'm getting pretty desperate.

In a 10 team HTH league, i'd think that there would probably be something better than LaPorta available. If not, i'd go ahead and make the change. I dropped Lind a few weeks ago.
