What stats matter?

[zoozam]

danka - lee and chip have been poor in weeks past; i'm very likely going to start the hotter figgins and lawton; lee has very poor power numbers and starting 2 white sox can be deadly as their bats sleep often; chippers hammy is scaring me as well; i'm probably wrong but i'm going to play the hotter hands

[zoozam]

runs, avg & rbis ... i'd try to backdoor steals and homers but those would be the main focus

[slomo007]

If you consider these guys mid-tier outfielders, who do you consider top?

[kmorton2]

C. Lee (who I love) is not back to his usual self - he sits

I think you sit Sheff until he becomes the RBI and R machine that he'll be later on.

Good luck.

BTW - who are top tier OFs

[zoozam]

well, this season to date, i'd take all of the following over any of my group -

top tier - vlad, beltran, bonds, pujols

tier below (maggs is flirting with this tier) - cabrera, abreu, dunn, lugo, manny. posednik, sosa

not drafted/drafted low but playing well above my guys (and would be starting in that group based on their #'s) - finley, craig wilson, burnitz, mora, lawton, jones, rondell

honestly - my group has been low performing so far; i'd never drop them and understand their long-term value but lawton and figgins are going to push for starts this week

[nmarq8]

lawton and figgins have been hot as of late, and deservedly so they should see some attention, but it's only a matter of time before sheff goes off. and i have maggs on my team and he's been pretty darn solid. c. lee on the other hand has been awful. for the next week, ya, maybe give lawton and figgins a try. but remember that they both hit higher in the lineup than sheff, maggs, and chipper. well i guess figgins has been hitting third, but the power in that lineup is vlad (4th) and thereafter, so i think rbi's will be tough to come by from those two (lawton leads off). the angels are also struggling because of so many injuries, i can't see figgins continuing this tear. and the braves haven't been hitting well lately either, so i'd go

sheff
maggs
chipper
lawton
figgins - he'd never hit a HR until last week against the yanks, and if you'd see his swing you'd understand why, more of a contact hitter w/ speed.

when did Manny become a second-tier anything???
