Gathright

[JayLear]

Does anybody have any projections availabe for Joey Gathright? Is he every day in KC? I'd appreciate any feedback anybody can offer. Thx.

Don't have any projections but I do know that he can jump over the hood of a sedan; he has the sickest vertical, almost freakish. In most players contracts it forbids you to ski or play football/basketball, in Joey's it forbids him to jump over vehicles.

Well if you are thinking in terms of Fantasy Baseball, always remember rule #1: Don't draft a Royals player.

I'm thinking in terms of a roto trade (4x4 League). I've been offered Gathright for Ervin Santana straight up. I'm deep in pitching and have a need for speed. Both players have identical contracts in term of keeper value. Anybody have any thoughts on this deal without me going into too much roster detail?

How many teams?

The more teams there are, the more valuable Gathright is.

If you really need steals I would do it, though it's risky since in real life Santana is a very valuable player, and Gathright is very replacement level, so Gathright could easily lose his job.

if gathright would be a lock for 550 ab's I'd do it. sadly, he's not given the TB of situation. I'd try to make it a 2 for 2 and get some more value.
