kotsay vs. finley

[durantjerry]

You should always keep Kotsay IMO. Finley could work in Safeco, but I had him be mediocre in Coors. Below are some Kotsay stats.

Yankee-191 29 11 6 20 12 2 1 .335 .487 .381
Petco- 419 46 25 6 49 31 2 2 .325 .432 .372
Fenway-629 105 30 17 92 64 3 5 .337 .475 .393

Kotsay obviously won't always be that good, but as you can see he's definitely capable of putting up great numbers.

I would keep Kotsay/ Hafner over Beltran/ Burnitz

Kotsay has been outstanding for me and I try to alway place him on my team.
Beltran sucks for the money, I would rather have Hunter over him.
Burnitz is good, but Hafner is better because you would face more RHP than LHPs and Hafner is not that bad against lefties.

Kotsay and hafner; trade Finley to a Shea team............

God I hope you're right. I'm "stuck" with him so I went out and got Bocachica for a platoon, I hope he'll be OK. Like others have said I've seen him hit .230 even in Coors. He DOES have a decent number of natural HRs on his card, I hope he'll be OK hitting eighth.

I actually had him higher up in my batting order but I'm sure he will be ok for you in eighth. good luck.

[Play By The Rules]

Did you play him both ways? A lot of hitting parks in the league? Can you post his stats?

Thanks.

[1crazycanuk]

These are his stats for me. I played him both ways. My park was Petco...and there were TWO other Petco's in my division. OBP wasn't so hot but I was happy with his numbers.

588 66 15 29 93 40 13 0 .252 .435 .296

Other parks: two Wrigley's, Kauffman, Bank One, Pro Player, couple more Petco's.

[Play By The Rules]

That sounds a lot like my league. .293 OBP can kill you, but a more than decent number of HRs. Thanks.

[1crazycanuk]

No problem. good luck.
