  • Fringe AL hitters - who to start?

    How would you all rank these guys just from a short-term/this season/"should I start you?" perspective?

    Oswaldo Arcia
    David Freese
    CJ Cron
    Michael Choice

    I guess I'd tentatively rank them in that order, but I like that Choice seems to be getting regular ABs, and is improving (maybe?).

    I think Cron has a chance to stick & put up some half decent numbers; I might move him into the 2 slot.
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

      Agreed. By the time Hamilton gets back it should be that much clearer that Cron is the better option than Ibanez.

        Arcia
        Cron
        Freese
        Choice

        Warning--I'm an owner of both Cron and Choice, not in the same league.

          What if I add Aviles into this mix? Would you play him over Freese? He's been pretty hot but Kipnis is back and may take away PT.

            Arcia...then Cron. Do not sleep on Arcia, he's a stud bat...he just has to make sure his head is on straight. And Cron is hitting everything hard...even his outs are shots.

              Arcia is in, don't worry. I've got 3 slots for:

              Arcia, Cron, Freese, Choice, Aviles, and now Singleton.

              I was going to play Acria, Cron, Aviles (for now).

                I'd play Singleton over Aviles, but that's just my lowly opinion. Aviles probably will neither help nor hurt you.
