Yonder Alonso

[jmette]

What's your take on Yonder Alonso? Obviously his situation is great.. Consistent playing time, great lineup. But is he worth holding onto through the lows (which are sure to come) or would you stream his spot on the roster with someone hot like Mauer or possibly senzel whenever he comes up.

I'd play matchups, but it would take a very good setup to sit Alonso. Weather has wreaked havoc with Midwest teams.

That's in the back of my mind too. I think as the weather warms up he'll get hot. Just tempting to pick someone up with a little more upside, like senzel, when team AVG is one of my weaknesses.

Unless you know after the draft that average was a problem, it's too early to manage the category. In fact, in today's landscape, I'm not sure it's ever the time, unless the standings dictate it, and that won't be clear until August.
