Michael young and Clint Barmes split strategy

[Yoda]

So do you bench both if they are both on the road?

The thing is you can't start all of them for their Home games, a lot of the time they will fall on the same day. So you will never maximize it entirely due to that, so I'm guessing you will still have to play a guy away at least 25% of the time. Thus making sure your stats won't be that good. This also doesn't take into account that Barmes could share time at 2B because he just isn't a good hitter. What's stopping him from repeating his 2006 season? He isn't really in his prime and never has been much of a producer.

All of that isn't to say it can't help somewhat, I just wouldn't expect that much of an increase in stats due to it.

When they both have home games I Play Young at 3rd and bench Aex Gordon (sigh). Problem solved.

That said, Michael young is going to be a producer this year in the new generation of the Texas Death-row lineup,Barmes will get more HRs, SBs, better average, better OPS while Young will excel in Runs -- will depend on which category I need.

and when there both on the road do you play Gordon at SS? Oh wait this is fantasy, not scoresheet, you can't play a player out of position!

I thought you said this is weekly correct? So what's your plan for the 1st week when Colorado is home 3 games and Texas is home 3, won't one guy have half his starts on the road? Maybe I'm just off on your league set-up..

Very intriguing concept. Here's what I've come up with. I realize the RBI's are pretty low, but all the other numbers are fairly average with those I listed below for comparisons sake. By the way, this is for OF.

Option #1:
Randy Winn: 305 AB's / 95 Hits / .311 Avg / 4 HR / 31 SB / 46 R / 15 RBI / 295 MDP
Ty Wigginton: 181 AB's / 62 Hits / .343 Avg / 15 HR / 2 SB / 31 R / 35 RBI / ? MDP
Total: 486 AB's / 157 Hits / .323 Avg / 19 HR / 33 SB / 77 R / 50 RBI

Option #2:
Randy Winn: 305 AB's / 95 Hits / .311 Avg / 4 HR / 31 SB / 46 R / 15 RBI / 295 MDP
Jack Cust: 253 AB's / 61 Hits / 0.241 Avg / 20 HR / 0 SB / 45 R / 44 RBI / 307 MDP
Total: 558 AB's / 156 Hits / .280 Avg / 24 HR / 31 SB / 91 R / 59 RBI

COMPARISONS:
Nate McLouth: 597 AB's / 165 Hits / .276 Avg / 26 HR / 23 SB / 113 R / 94 RBI / 54 MDP
Hunter Pence: 595 AB's / 160 Hits / .269 Avg / 25 HR / 11 SB / 78 R / 83 RBI / 81 MDP
Curtis Granderson: 553 AB's / 155 Hits / .280 Avg / 22 HR / 12 SB / 112 R / 66 RBI / 48 MDP
Corey Hart: 612 AB's / 164 Hits / .268 Avg / 20 HR / 23 SB / 76 R / 91 RBI / 58 MDP

how are you possibly projecting winn to have 4 hr and 31 sb???

Those aren't projections. Those are his "at home" split stats from last season.

He had 25 SB's on the year, so that would be quite a feat.
I think you've got his home RBI listed as his home SB's.

Exactly, when both play on the road you will have bad stats. You cant just get 100% of their home stats, it's not possible.

Barmaster's away games week one are at arizona where he goes bombadeering regularly, I gave him the start over Micheal "the one" Young. my opponent is starting Jimmy Rollins so I'll have some fancy analysis to brag about end of the week.
