Value of Drury

[chancellor]

NL only, 10-team, 5x5, OBP/SLG instead of BA and HR, non-keeper.

Is Drury worth Lucas Duda? I have an excess at 1B, and Drury would give me a lot of positional flexibility (we have one game eligibility).

Thanks!

Probably not in an OBP league. Though SLG helps him. It depends how much you like Duda but I still think Drury is basically a .275-15 guy. Even hitting .292 he has a .314 OBP thanks to a 2.5% walk rate. His ROS projections are awful (sub .300 OBP, 11ish HRs) but I don't think he's that bad.

If you have a need at 2B or 3B then I'd make the swap. Drury hits a ton of doubles so even if the homers slow down he should maintain a .450+ slug which is way up there compared to other second basemen.
