Who should I start this coming week? (Baseball)?

Question

I am trying to choose between OF Nick Swisher and OF Ken Griffey Jr.

Here are the teams the players will be facing:

Swisher: 4 games vs. Boston, 3 games @ San Francisco

Griffey: 3 games @ St. Louis, 4 games vs. Cleveland

I like Swisher but I have been starting Griffey most weeks. I am afraid to start Griffey this week because Cincinnati is doing very bad now and plus I think he might be cooling off a bit.

Plus I think Swisher is starting to hit well and Oakland is a getter team.

Answer 1

well i have scouting report and this is what they say for swisher (they say swisher you should start, but griffey is potential for a few hrs, but go swisher):

Nick Swisher, Oakland Athletics

Schedule: 7 games - vs. BOS (4), @ SF (3)

Analysis: It's odd that a player who had a 30-homer season last year was considered a breakout candidate for 2007. A first baseman with 32 RBI and 24 runs through 158 at-bats certainly gives the impression of a 100-plus-RBI producer. The Dan Johnson buy-low corollary is still present in fantasy, but people forget how consistent Swisher has been in the power categories. He's played at least 131 games in the last two seasons, and at this point in his career is worth the investment as a reliable slugger. He should still hit at least couple home runs this coming week with four games at home and three games against his Bay Area rival. Play him, with no quarrels.

Answer 2

I'd start Griffey. He is playing well and all seven of his games are in hitters ballparks. St' Louis' staff has been very inconsistent and though Clevelands is good, they did get rocked pretty hard this weekend by Detroit.

Swisher can give you similar RBI and HR numbers but not AVG and he will be playing all seven games in pitchers parks.

Answer 3

Griffey only faces 1 ace this week so I would go with him.
Swisher has to face better pitching on the road.

Answer 4

The Phillies are my group and that i think the present famous with the help of Las Vegas oddsmakers. some speculators have asked if this years Philadelphia group might have the desirable beginning rotation in MLB heritage with Halladay, Lee, Hamels and Blanton. particular looks sturdy on paper, yet they're going to could prepare themselves. i think the Dodgers interior the overdue 60's had a artwork tension with 3 HOF ers in spite of the certainty that i can't submit to in suggestions the 4 might have been Drysdale, Sutton, Kofax and Osteen. interestingly the Phils are beginning with a homestand against the Houston Astros (Apr.a million-3) then play their arch opponents the recent Yor Mets who all of us comprehend are lots embroidered interior the Madoff scandal (April 5-7). enable's desire its a sturdy twelve months.

Answer 5

who ever you want. Thanks for two points. :-).
