Tike Redman vs. Brian Jordan

[Xtreemes]

I know this forum is usually for talk about bigger names, but the last guys on your roster can make a difference too. Right now i have brian jordan, but im considering dropping him for tike redman. How do you think jodan will do in texas? I could use the steals from redman, but do you think he'll hit well enough, and be healthy enough to justify keeping him over tike and his steals?

Oh yea, im in a 12 team 5x5 league if that helps

[Zito is God]

12 team league have a Much better free agency then both of those.

I'd tend to agree....who else is out there?

[Xtreemes]

Rondell White, Matt Stairs, Jeff DaVanon, Bobby Higginson are the best of whats left

I like Redman. Jordan is garbage IMO. Redman has great upside and shouldn't hurt you anywhere.

I'm and idiot. I just realized klesko's playing the outfield this year, so after 15 games he'll be available there. I'll oviously pick him up instead of jordan or redman

[sportznow]

even with Klesko out there, if you need to wait 15 games you obviously have to fill that whole while your waiting for Klesko to get OF status. So i'd say pick up Tike Redmond, he's a speedster and will hit for decent Avg. Also could score some runs. Then when Klesko is eligible for OF drop Redmond and pick up Klesko. Unless Redmond is on fire and Klesko isnt doing so hot.

Pick up Klesko no matter what. He won't last long enough on the free agent list for you to wait 15 games for him to qualify. Do you have another OF you can play instead of Jordan and stash Klesko on your bench? Do whatever you need to do to pickup Klesko regardless. No way in a 12 team league he should be on the free agent list.
