    Default Goldschmidt or Swisher?

    Yes I know the hype around Goldschmidt as I did draft him in this league, but ended up dropping him after a very slow start. Now he's picking it up in a big way but Im worried about Arizona's performance (aka $hittiness). I know what Im getting with Swisher.....probably 25-30 HRs with a lot of Ks.

    Considering Im in last do I go for the high reward in Goldschmidt?

    Note: A-Gon now has RF eligibility so I could make Goldie my everyday 1B and A-Gon my Util.

    I feel bad buddy because I told you to drop Wainwright (how's that working out?), but I love Swish in a crazy good line up. I am always trying to build my power numbers. I love Swish.

    DOn't worry I didn't drop Wainwright!

    Damn....I love him too but the upside of Goldie is almost too much for me to pass up right now. If I were in 1st or 2nd it would be a completely different story but I need something to help me breakout.

    I should note that once Goldie hit another homer tonight I made the switch.....Im worried though.

    Would you rather have Choo or Swisher?

    He has monster June/July splits, so be patient. I am trying to obtain him!

    If you need power, Swisher's your guy. If you need overall production, Choo is the more balanced player.

    I like Swisher, especially in that kiddy park.

    We're still talking about Swisher over Goldschmidt though right?

    I like Swisher over both.

    The safer pick is Swisher and believe he qualifies at both 1B/OF, but think I might actually roll with Goldschmidt here.

    Taking a look over Swisher's numbers again, and perhaps 25 homeruns is a stretch this year.
