I have some extra cash to spend and am thinking of adding Burroughs. I have Mora at 3rd right now and he's money as a hitter but I wonder if his D is costing me some games (14 errors thru 93 games). Is it worth putting Burroughs at 3rd and DHing Mora? or should I add Lawton instead? I'll probably bat whoever I take 2nd in my lineup-which is better? Thanks for any veteran insights!

That or you can just keep Mora and have a defensive sub late in the game. Or put Mora at DH...unless you have a better hitter there.

definetly Burroughs at 3B! I used him several times and he's hit .330 before.

As far as you being worried about the number of errors your 3B is making there is not much difference between Mora and Burroughs. Mora ia an e25 and Burroughs is an e19. I would go with Lawton at DH and leave Mora at 3B myself.

I think keep mora and use that money on a great DH. You could almost get a platoon for burroughs money. David Segui, Garrett Anderson, Frank Cattalanatto, alex sanchez are all guys I've used at DH with great success. Cattalanatto and sanchez was a great semi-leadoff combination.

I have Burroughs on a squad for the first time- I had intended to platoon him with Blum but he was needed elsewhere, I am STUNNED by his offensive production (BAwise, anyways.)

I had him rated comparably to Mackowiak but I think that he's better.
