southsideirish Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Can anyone tell me why this guy is not being drafted. I see some places have him listed as the starting 2B but others have Hariston This guy would help me a great deal in steals but I don't want to pick him up if he isnt starting. As you can see form my team below it is in need for some speed. Thanks for your help. Here is my team: Starters C Mike Piazza 1B Frank Thomas 2B Mark Loretta 3B Troy Glaus SS Miguel Tejada OF Carlos Lee OF Jim Edmonds OF Shawn Green OF Austin Kearns OF J.D. Drew 1B/3B Derek Lee 2B/SS Orlando Cabrera UTIL Pat Burrell RP Eric Gagne RP John Smoltz RP Mariano Rivera RP Robb Nen RP Billy Koch SP Vicente Padilla SP Kelvim Escobar SP Brian Anderson SP Edwin Jackson Bench 1B Ryan Klesko Bench OF Jermaine Dye Bench RP Matt Herges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well most say Jerry Hairston Jr. is the better second baseman but he had an injury early on in Spring Training which will likely result in him missing the start of the season (fractured knuckle). So as of right now I'd say Roberts is the starter, but I'd bet if Hairston's injury isn't too serious then he'll be back starting for the O's.

SuperSteve Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 One of them will be traded. Both are MLB ready, and there has been talk about the Os trading one of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you think I should pick up Roberts? Who should I drop? Or how about Damian Jackson from Colorado? I know Miles is pushing him, but Jackson has tons of speed as well.

DonkeyKongerko Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Hairston will probably start since he gets paid a hell of alot more. Speculation was that Roberts would go to the Yankees to fill their hole at second. I am a big fan of Brian Roberts so I don't think he is a terrible addition as a backup but you already have Cabrera.

I agree Cabrera is better, but I am looking to upgrade over Loretta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I dont understand why Cabrera could be used at 2B too...dont make much sense IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an ESPN league and one of the starting line up spots is the middle infield spot or 2B/SS spot. You must have a SS, 2B, and a 2B/SS in your starting lineup. Cabrera may not and can not be used as a 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking about taking a chance on Orlando Hudson and hoping.There really are not a ton of good 2Bs. They all should put up similar production. Loretta will have alot more protection this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I thought Roberts would go to da Cards, but then Hairston got injured, and the Cards picked up Tony Womack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
