Pick up Omar Infante? (WHIR)

[Bjorne Greece]

I'm inclined not to do this but thought I'd look for opinions anyways.

Omar Infante is a bit of a hot name right now and I was thinking of picking him up. The player I would drop would be Bill Hall. I like Infante's eligibility as he is eligible all over the field and he has a great batting average. The problem I see is that with Cruz on the DL, Adam Dunn is my only other consistent source of OF power - particularly with Rios not hitting well since the all star break.

Opinions please. I'm thinking of sticking with what I have.

Leave a link to your post and I'll get back to you.

I'd prefer him over Hall for sure. He's on fire.

Even with the loss of power I'd be faced with?

In a 12-team league, guys like infante and hall are right on the borderline between rostered and FA fodder... Best to go with the hottest hand - infante - and continually watch to see how these kinds of guys do. If you had hall during his little power surge - great. If you hang onto him too long, you start to give the numbers back so to speak (not to mention missing out on someone else's hot streak.)
