Drop adam laroche for john bowker?

Question

12 team nl only fantasy league. i picked up laroche a month ago, and i know he is going to get hot soon and probably hit near .290 the rest of the season. bowker has been hitting .325 over the last month with 5 hr and 20+ rbi. should i pick up bowker and drop laroche?

Answer 1

No, I wouldn't do it right now. Laroche is having a good week and has 6 RBI's in his last 3 games. It looks like he's heating up and when he heats up, he rarely cools down. As for Bowker, he is unproven and is prone to slump, especially since he's a rookie. I would only drop Laroche when he is slumping later on this season and if Bowker is doing well at the same time Laroche is cold.
