Lastings Milledge or Chris Young (Ari.)?

Question

Who is better fantasy-wise down the stretch?

Answer 1

Lastings Milledge is a better hitter and fielder.

Edit: Dont put thumbs down on me just because u dont like the nationals

Answer 2

In my opinion...Lastings Milledge is one of the worst overall players in the Majors. Chris Young has some power, but he doesn't hit for a high average at all. It mainly comes down to which team you want your player playing around. Neither team really gets people in scoring position, so either way it's kinda an unfortunate choice. I would take Young over Milledge though personally (plus, Young is in a division race, so he's gotta come up with numbers for his team, so that should motivate him...)

Answer 3

chris young is clutch and a great fielder.

Answer 4

Fantasywise I would go with Milledge down the stretch. He makes more contact, giving you more opportunity to score. Young is the better talent but in fantasy talent gets you praise from your freinds and and not much else. Milledge also has the advantage of playing in a more relaxed atmosphere, Arizona will be heavy into the pennant race while the Nationals will play to relative obscurity making his job easier. On BA alone Milledge is a huge improvement, you lose steals but Young is only a middle of the road SB guy to begin with and Milledge has as much pop and RBI opportunity as Young. Go with Milledge the rest of this year (but draft Young before Milledge next season).

Answer 5

Chris Young, but Lastings will be lastings a longer time then Chris Young... There's a joke in this answer people.

Answer 6

chris young strikes out a ton and offense has regressed and cant get the much needed hit with RISP while Lastings has been on fire since he came off the DL so i would say Milledge

Answer 7

While Young strikes out a lot, he is a much better fielder and has way more power. I think Milledge will have a fine career, but I think Chris Young could be great

Answer 8

Lastings is gaining patience at the plate, which makes him an incredibly dangerous hitter.  He has a long hit streak going, and hit another homer today.

I'd take Milledge over Young.

Answer 9

Milledge is starting to figure things out.  Young, however, is still swinging for the fences and striking out a ton.
