Zazzi20 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 What are the feelings on Aaron Rowand and Jay Gibbons? Each is starting to heat up but I'm struggling with which one to pick up. My league is a 6x6 where strikeouts by the hitter go against you. My current outfield is A. Huff D. Dellucii T. Nixon I would drop V. Castillia to pick up one of these guys. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help! 818291[/snapback] I would go with Rowand, as he's more of a 5 tool guy. If he continues to bat 3rd in that lineup, I think he'll continue to put up strong numbers (but nobody knows what will happen when Frank Thomas returns). Gibbons is showing some nice pop again, but I don't think he has any more power than Rowand does (keep in mind that Rowand's power stroke was very streaky last year . . . he'd hit 4 HR in 3 games and then quiet down for a while . . . I think his HRs will come eventually) - and Rowand will hit for a higher BA and steal a bunch of bases for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Gibbons may sit more when Matos comes back. Id go with Rowand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
