I have a hard time deciding about Andruw as well. I have him now on a US Cell team, and after 66 games he's hitting .246 (OB=.352, slugging=552), with 21 Hr's and 46 rbi, batting 6th in a hitter's line-up. I'd like more, but the power production isn't bad.
Part of my indecision about him is unease about the alternatives. I tried an Edmonds/Murphy combo to get away cheap, hoping Edmonds would post decent power numbers, but the performace was abysmal. T. Hunter looks like a poor man's Andruw, but I'm not crazy about his OBP. I'm drafting a Cell team now and am thinking of going for Andruw again in cf, even though I'm not crazy about him. But who would be a better choice for cf in the Cell? (Not willing to play a 3 or 4 there).
