Playing in Petco, with a Shea, Fenway, and BOB.
Core lineup includes mora, drew, berkman, casey, Vwells, JHernandez, RClayton.
Wondering if I should use Kendall at leadoff or put Mora at leadoff, drop Kendall and pick up Estrada to bat 6th...thoughts? I've used both these guys with good results...the extra mil in cap would be nice. Outside of injury risk, is it really a 1 mil dropoff in performance taking Estrada?

Personally, I prefer Kendall leading off. If I remember correctly, Estrada hits into a ton of DP's, which would be real rally killers with all of those high OBP guys that would surely be on base ahead of him. Just my take, though...
With all of those huge hitters, I'm curious - what kind of pitching do you have?

I agree Kendall, plus he wont be as hurt. and perfect lead-off hitter.

Thanks guys...yeah--I'll stay pat. Starting pitching is budget and with the few mil I have left, my waivers need to be successful...looking to add Penny/Burnette and a cheap lefty killer for shea, to Westbrook, Clement, Greinke, Vazquez, Lima. Trying a beat them with OB approach and see if Petco will keep my pitchers in it.
Bullpen is Isringhausen and RMendoza with bargains after that
We'll see!

Is Burke available? I have found him to be way more valuable than those other two....

If $$ is no object, I go with Kendall....
Burke is good too....but more injury prone, and not as good a fielder as Kendall....but he is a good value for sure! :wink:

Burke already had a home.
We'll see how my pitching does.
Thanks!
