[quote:1c49f4e8dd="The Senators"]That's understood...and again, it all makes sense when you're winning. And also like when I used Templeton you were in that mid 40 error range. The differences are obvious and probably more personal preference as much as anything.[/quote:1c49f4e8dd]
Well put. I tend to be a "compromise" guy; I like solid defense, but i don't like automatic outs. Because of this, I tend to stay away from both Metzger and Templeton, and instead I lean toward using Kessinger, Harrelson, Foli... all 3 of whom I have had great team and individual success with. I consider Metzger not worth the hassle of drafting high and having a dead bat in the lineup, and I just can't stomach the errors Templeton brings with him... but that's just me.
To Bombers comparison of Ordonez and Metzger... same player, different game, IMO. I think you can get away with a Metzger in your 70's lineup more easily than an Ordonez in your 90s lineup, because there is more overall offense (and less dominating SP) in the 90s game.
