Hi Guys,
In an 8 team keeper league my available OF waiver options are Granderson, Quentin, Lind & Jones (Balt.) Who’s got the most upside? Would you drop Pence for one of these? It’s always a guess on returning injured players. Thanks for the help. Jim
Instant gut feel is baby-grand. That stadium, combined with that lineup can do wonderful things for someone’s stats. His platoon splits the past 2 years are horrific and leg injuries for a speedster is troubling. But his talent, park factor and lineup protection are too much to ignore.
Pence is streaky, good home park but horrible lineup and that team is going nowhere so if you had to think about it, would you rather have Grand or Pence going forward for the next few years, and would you do that trade if it was offered to you?
I say yes.
