Zimmerman or Middlebrooks

[hockeyrobot]

Simple question...team in sig.

zimmerman offers more upside if he gets 100% healthy. Middlebrooks never looked like a star to me, so it will take time for him to even be a top 100 fantasy player. Personally i added him 3 weeks ago, and as soon as youklis was traded, i packaged him and traded him. At his best you are looking at a 280 20hr guy, chase headley will flirt with that.

In this case, i would gamble on the gift horse, and go zimmerman, since the boston lineup is not what is was a few years ago so there will not be a big lineup boost to help out a mediorce middlebrooks

If Zimm's 100% healthy, he's shown that he can be a beast. Realistically though, how long will he be injury for free? Use him while he's healthy

I'd also go with Zimmerman.

Hopefully you would get more performance for the balance of the season.
