Drop Smoak for LaPorta?

[hawk1226]

I am in a keeper league so both of these players are sitting on my roster not only because I think they can perform this season, but also because I feel that have a lot of upside. My only weak offensive position is 1st base (believe it or not considering how deep the position is this year), so I need a backup that is able to be put into the lineup. Considering their potential and their ability to perform this year as well, who would you rather have? Smoak or LaPorta?

you own Smoak and LaPorta is on waivers?
they both have a lot of potential. i would think Smoak because he doesnt have the same K potential and he draws more walks to get on base more along with his power potential.. however Smoak just doesnt seem to be performing. he should be better than he has been, but he hasnt been.
based on potential and what they are doing right now even though its a tough decision i would say its ok to drop Smoak and play LaPorta. ride who is hot right now, and thats LaPorta. LaPorta was also tearing up when he was in the minors, so his hot streak isnt just what hes done with Cleavland.


help?

I would go with Laporta just cause he has been absolutely killing it ever since he got called back up to the show.
