    Ichiro for Bryan LaHair

    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.

    Any thoughts?

    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.

    i agree with the thought that lahair has more upside and more downside

    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.

    Smart move. You need to have a few consistent guys on a team.

    depends on your league settings and what your lineup looks like now vs after the trade

    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.

    Damn right

    He's got Anthony Rizzo about to take his job. Pressure is on.

    Ichiro has no pressure
    sucks in clutch at-bats

    Lehair way better

    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.

    Yeah, I'm just taking a gamble that Ichiro will heat up. Also, I really don't think that LaHair will be able to keep up his current pace.

    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.
