AL only 5x5...My weak link this year.
I have both Sean Rodriguez and Reid Brignac.
Are Scott Sizemore and/or Trevor Plouffe better options?
Also...Thoughts on Alex White for this year?
AL MI's
Re: AL MI's
I'd certainly give Sizemore a shot over Brignac. Plouffe does nothing for me.
And until he plays full time or does better with the at bats he has, Sizemore is justified over S-Rod.
White's K/BB was very good on the farm, but he has limited experience higher than Double-A. We can pretty much use a canned response with any talented rookie pitcher -- he's a rookie, he will have his ups and downs. How well the league adjusts and then how well he adjusts back will tell the story. I like the fact he misses bats, as opposed to many of the Tribe starters. It is unclear if he will stick all season, though I don't see J Gomez or Talbot blocking him if he shows he can handle MLB hitters.
Worth a speculative shot in an AL only? Sure.

You know you have to seek therapy when you see one of your pitchers had a bad night and it takes you 15 minutes to find the team you have him on. - The Forum Funklord
