Who do you expect to have more fantasy value THIS season? I'm thinking Polanco since he's tearing it up in Triple A at the moment and is playing exclusively at RF. Baez is just getting off the DL so I think his call-up will be coming later in the year. Thoughts?

If you need power MI, then it's Baez.

Polanco should score more runs, steal more bases and have a higher AVG/OBP.

I don't think either do anything this year.

I think Baez. Unless Castro and Bonifacio stay hot, he'll be an immediate everyday starter at the top of their lineup. Polanco will probably have to fight for playing time with McCutchen, Marte, Snider, and Tabata out there.

Still don't think we're going to see Polanco for a while.

SS is so thin. If Baez gets the call and you don't have a good SS then you get that upgrade. Power is scarce in general, especially at SS. He goes up there hacking and will strike out, that is already of given.


Polanco can step in and contribute as well, but fantasy teams are more likely to have a decent OF already. Polanco is solid all around but I don't think he will have the immediate power impact that Baez will. I also don't think he will be a steals guy at the MLB level and I think PIT will probably hit him down in the lineup to start, limiting his run producing potential.

I'd have to go with the guy who's more likely to be called up... which is Polanco. They'll probably slide him right in the 2 hole and let him loose. Marte(RH), Polanco(LH), and Cutch(RH) should occupy the top the the lineup and he should have a chance to put up solid counting stats across the board.

I've been stashing Polanco for 2 weeks now. It's been hurting me because I have so many damn injuries, especially with Kipnis and Billy Hamilton both going down this week to add to my injury woes. But the kid is a stud. I firmly believe the decision is gonna pay off when he get's called up.
