Two Tuesdays Ago's Recommendation - Drop Jason Bay and Pickup Logan Morrison
Morrison has played less games that Bay still, but has been basically even in RBIs and Runs. Morrison has two homers to Bay's one, but Bay has thrown in two steals. The big difference is Logan's .286 average compared to Bay's ugly .205 average. It was fairly obvious that Morrison was going to be better than Bay, but at the time Bay was ridiculously owned in more leagues. Morrison is going to be a much better player than Jason Bay will be at this stage of his career.
Last Tuesday's Recommendation - Drop Juan Pierre and Pickup Cameron Maybin
After last week's column, Pierre started off on a tear and has gone 10/27 and scored five runs. Maybin on the other hand went just 4/16 and popped in two RBIs. The difference is that Maybin managed to pick up a steal despite getting on base far fewer times. Maybin is going to be better going forwards and continue to be a five tool player, while Pierre is only contributing with runs and RBIs.
Tuesday we are going to take a look at first baseman affected by injuries. Two guys on the DL that aren't worth hanging onto, and one player who is getting playing time because of other players DL stints.
