Hillenbrand

[Guest]

any thoughts on Shea Hillenbrand this season (HR-RBI-Runs-ave?)

[The Jury]

15 HR, 75 RBI, 80 R, .290

He's much worse than the illusion early last year.

you say he is much worse then last year but those are pretty much the same numbers he put up last season.

What is his trade value in a dynasty league- what type of SP could you get for him straight up.

Amazing first half of 2002... power off the charts, great average, etc. Back down to earth in the second half. Power disappeared. He never walks and Ks a lot, which is why the Sox management is down on him. He's also whining, making management even angrier. He recently compared himself to Jeff Bagwell (who the Sox gave up on when he was in Triple-A). Shea's comparison went over like a lead balloon.

Still, he's tempting cause of what he showed in the first halff, but if there are other options, look there. I took Beltre off the free agent list cause I only had Koskie, and wanted a backup plan. Some think Beltre could have a big year.

Good luck.
