Smoak vs Ackley Dynasty League
Guys just looking for some feedback as to who is the better long term fantasy keeper in a dynasty league. Smoak or Ackley.
Thanks
I would take ackley since he plays 2nd and has shown enough glove to stick there. Smoak will have better stats, but a .300 25hr 1b is a boarderline fantasy asset.
Ackley is just plain the better stick. i also have some concerns about power options like Smoak when they play half the season in Safeco (the same way as i feel about Petco).
League format? Both have similar potential, but think Smoak has more power while Ackley offers more speed, and the better position.
Keeper League:
F) N.Backstrom, E.Malkin, V.Lecavalier, P.Mueller, A.Mcdonald, B.Boyes, A.Hemsky, S.Horcoff, K.Turris, D.Jeffrey, M.Perreault, C.O'Reilly, S.Upshall, M.Erat, S.Gagne, D.Legwand D) S.Souray, M.Streit, A.Babchuk, T.Gilbert, I.Cole, J.Hillen, M.Methot G) B.Elliott, S.Varlamov, C.Ward, J.Reimer P) N.Kadri, E.Kuznetsov, S.Shirokov, V.Tarasenko, J.Blum, OEL, J.Moore, O.Pavelec
Smoak was traded from a hitters park to a pitchers park, but that does not mean that he does not have a power bat, but you may need to wait a few years from the super elite break out year like agon. Ackley is more of a can;t miss guy, but he also has a much lower ceiling. Ackley will run more, but i doubt that he ever hits 20 homers or steals 20 bases. I think he will be an empty batting average guy.
