Reynolds, Camden Yards is a launching pad. Some people would say Lee, but he's declining.
Wondering which guy gives me the best depth option. Drafted Reynolds but I already have Bautista at 3rd. With Uribe backing up my 2B/SS/3B positions from the bench, does it make more sense to have Carlos Lee than Reynolds? I like the 1B/OF eligibility from the bench better, and feel the production is somewhat comparable. Thoughts?
edit: this is a 10-team yahoo H2H, 6x6 (standard cats + hits/holds)

What are your league stats? And full keeper, semi etc?
If your league counts K's, Reynolds will kill you coming off the bench.
edit: I also didn't realize how brutal Lee was last year in general. Reynolds might be safer despite the K's. I dislike them both equally
Just created my sig w/ league/roster info... No Ks, only 4 keepers. Sorry, I'm new here :-)
I know Reynolds will hit plenty of HRs at Camden, but he's not going to see as much action in my lineup when I can only plug him in at 3B/UT. I'll probably hold on for a few weeks and see what he does, and be ready to make a move if he fizzles early. Tabata is another interesting option I'm eyeing...
If you can't play either, why not roster a RP to help pad your pitching stats?

I think I'd be in the same position if I swapped for a pitcher since all my RP/P slots are already filled w/ RPs. I'd rather have a bench hitter to plug in on those light schedule days - starting hitters are far more likely to play those days than RPs so it's a safer bet IMO.
