Cespedes would look real nice in lf right now...

[durtymrclean]

Sigh

Glad i changed the format to needing a CF instead of a outfielder in our fantasy league because i was grasping for a CF and he was the highest by far at that time in the draft.. I had to trust the rankings...So far so good for me.. I was wrong about him..

 

[theTutor]

when all said and done, young will have better numbers

 

[biggunsbob]

Maybe except Young is awful in LF..

Young? You mean Delmon? Not a chance. Cespedes will K a ton in his career and he might hit .220 but he is country strong. Fact.

Yeah, that's probably not gonna happen.

Cespedes has more power than Young, and will actually draw a walk.

Young puts the ball in play more.

Agreed.

I'd love nothing more than for Young to put up another 2010, but I'll probably see pigs flying past my window before it happens.

And I think he gets moved before the deadline anyways.

I meant this year folks.

so did they. young blows.

we'll see

I doubt Young has a career year, which is the only way his numbers will be better than Cespedes. And by numbers, I am talking about quality stats (i.e. OPS, Runs Created, WPA/LI). Young will probably have a better batting average, but most of us know that by itself is a hollow stat.

 

[theTutor]

yeah, I guess it would be crazy to think he could have all-star numbers behind Cabrera and Fielder.......if they start hitting.

 

[Rebbiv]

Has he ever had all star numbers?

 

[biggunsbob]

Well we could sure use his fielding.. i am sure he is better then everyone we have except Jackson.

 

[theTutor]

Has he ever had all star numbers?

look at his numbers from 2007 to 2010

 

[spockmaster]

look at his numbers from 2007 to 2010

they are middling and completely offset by his awful, awful defense. he's just not good at baseball.

 

[mjsb2]

look at his numbers from 2007 to 2010

So no.

Offensively 2010 was good, other than that he hasn't had one good season at the plate.

 

[Rebbiv]

look at his numbers from 2007 to 2010

You lost all credibility when you even suggested 2007 possibly being a All Star season.

Which, I am now curious (not really) why you picked that season over all the other similar sub par seasons.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Cespedes home numbers, .318 .426 .659 1.085. If he learns to hit elsewhere he could be good.

 

[Thumb]

Yep, he has talent.

His asking price was still too high IMO, much too big a chance to take.

But he's going to be solid probably.
