Sands Called Up

[Simon]

You watching the games? He doesn't look overmatched to me. In fact, he's roped more than a few but unfortunately right at fielders. He has had a couple bad ABs but I think "overmatched" is far too strong a word.

This is good to hear. When I've seen him, he's hit weak grounders or struck out.

I could use power in my deep NL only 5x5 league. I expect that I would need to FAAB about $20 (of a $100 FAAB budget) to get Sands. Is he worth it?

I think so, and I'm not a Dodger homer. He has some advantages that will help assure the Dodgers will be patient with him - first, Loney is simply sucking, second, he's cheap and the Dodgers are going to like cheap this year and next, and third, the OF competition isn't that tough, either.

FYI - He went for $25 in my main league (18 team 7x7).

Thanks for the info. I may need to up my bid if I want him badly enough.

[OaklandA's]

The Dodgers optioned Sands back to AAA today, and called up OF Trent Oeltjen.
