I'd be getting Ichiro. Seems like a steal for me. Even though LaHair had a good game today, he's been struggling bad lately. I can't invision LaHair keeping pace with what he's done the first two months of the season.
I think Lahair has the bigger upside for the season. If you have a comfy lead in first than I would go with Ichiro. Otherwise Lahair gives you a chance for big numbers.
LaHair is clearly the more up and down and risky player in fantasy...Ichiro is about 100 years old but that guy is consistent like Kardashian jokes on late night talk shows...guy just hits .300 every year with about a million hits and scores runs like they give them out on game day. Hard to not want a guy like that in your line up. JMO.
a few weeks ago before this drought lahair had a homerun to flyball rate of 32 percent. that is crazy. the best power hitter in baseball are around 20 percent.
Not a bad move. Good luck with it. I was a little down on Ichiro going into this year with his awful year last year, but he looks to be back in decent form.
As mentioned above the fly ball to home run rate is a great stat given....certainly an obvious indicator of a regression to come for Lahair...Ichiro the way to go for me on this one.
