Damon vs. Kubel

[Magnus_CA]

This is a poorly disguised attempt at a WW pickup or Trade question.

Agreed.. seems to be a random comparison that is probably waiver-based. I do like how Kubel, a virtually ignored guy at the beginning of the season, at least has worked his way up to a Damon comparison level.

And as if one wasn't enough the OP posted two in the Leftovers forum...

I say again ->

It does affect a WW decision but I was also curious to see where you guys thought these 2 would be ranked at the end of the season and who is better. Didn't realize it was a crime sorry.

[Magnus_CA]

Actually you committed 2 crimes. The first was putting Kubel and Damon in a comparison thread.

[Padres Fan]

well you are comparing 2 different types or OF Damon is more of a leadoff type, who is now being more of a power hitter (not a good one), Kubel is a intriguing prospect, this season I may go with Damon even though the Yanks OF/DH is crowded but in a keeper format may gamble on Kubel

[skjelstrom]

Don't like it then you don't have to post the thread. Or do you enjoy finding a way to criticize?

But seriously, don't post again if all your going to do is harass and not help. Thanks

[Padres Fan]

I think he is just telling you that this question belongs in the Trade/Waivers sextion and not here and don't be suprised if this Post gets locked up.

[skjelstrom]

But that is not my purpose with this thread. I just wanted to know how people project these 2 players, I could have posted 2 different ones and im sure there would have been no complaints but i thought I would make it easier and put it in 1 thread. Im not trying to make this a question of which should I get or anything. I just want to know what you guys think of these 2 players. Nothing unreasonable about that for the Leftovers section.

[Magnus_CA]

Just when I thought you didn't have any rope left you found some more!

[Padres Fan]

Listen here junior..I'm calling you junior alright, you want a prospective OF Franklin Gutierrez looks good.

Damon has a .872 OPS which is .005 away from his career high. His SB numbers are way down but he's on pace for almost 30 HR. Sub par?

I know. Sometimes posts come from way out in left field don't they?
