My team is in San Diego. My division and rest of the league all bomber ballparks except one or two.

I managed to get my hands on Millan(draft) and Hunt/Helms(FA's). If I keep Millan, I would lead him off. I'm not sure he's good enough for me to score enough and I don't like him Batting 7th, as the bottom of the order will be too weak. Would you keep Millan or Hunt?
I canm cut Millan or Hunt and pick up a reliever(Perranowski), upgrade LF(Yaz?) or offer a trade of Millan and Hands for a stud SP.

Millan is not a lead off hitter. His on base is way to low for that. I would keep him over Hunt since a 2b 1 that can't be injured is better than a 2b 2 who is injury prone and can go down for 15 games. When I have Millan I set him for bunt more, don't ph for vs lefties, don't ph for vs righties. I bat him either 2nd. 8th, or 9th. Depending on DH league vs non dh league, and if I have a hitter I like better for the number 2 spot in the lineup.

O.K so your in my divison in this league....I'll still try to be impartial.

Keep Millan. The D is huge. Hunt gets hurt alot. That's the bottom line. Use the roughly 5 million you then have left and upgrade from Veale because he will get pounded.

Just checked the league trans page....not sure if you made those moves on my suggestions but if you win the division as a result do me a favor.....staunch myself inflicted wounds for me would you....please. :lol:

Millan is solid. The only "1" 2B in the catalog and he can't get hurt. I checked my leagyes and he is always on a winning team. Obviously, other factors matter.

BUT - he is NOT a leadoff man. Bat him 7th or 8th (9th in a DH league).

Agree with Risden. I've had Milan twice and both team made the playoffs. However, offensively he was a dog but I had enough offense in both cases to cover for him. I would not hit him leadoff, I think he is better suited for 2nd or the bottom of the order.
