I'm on the verge of cutting James Loney for Paul Konerko. I can't tolerate this guy's weak power numbers, I believe I've read somewhere that Loney has a whopping 2 extra base hits all spring! I don't want to put too much stock into spring numbers but I'm having a hard time seeing Konerko's possible 25+hr's currently sitting there on the wire. I'm certain Loney will bring me the better batting average and close to or equal to Konerko's rbi's, but I will not tolerate 13 homers from my corner infielder.
Should I cut him for Paully? Thoughts?

Re: James Loney
I'd try to stash Konerko if you can without cutting Loney. While I don't think he'll hit 20 bombs, he'll give you a handful of SB and a BA 40-50 points higher than Paul who's on the wrong side of the hill. If you can't stash him, stick with Loney.
