Ian Kinsler
What do I do with this guy? He's producing crazy numbers right now but I have him behind Utley at 2B and Hafner at UTIL. I can't bring myself to play Kinsler over Utley even though Utley is struggling.
Trade Kinsler while value is high? Trade Utley? I don't feel as if trading Utley is an option but I wanna believe Kinsler is going to continue to produce and would be a worthwhile player to keep.

Utley started slow last year as well so I'm fairly sure I'm not about to trade him. I'm sure he'll turn it around and Kinsler is definitely not going to keep up his current pace. I still think he's got potential for 25+ this year but what's he at now? 5 HR already? Crazy pace.
I would like to improve in my outfield, I'm thinking I can flip Kinsler for one. Thanks for the advice.

Its not like this should be a suprise to anyone, he hit 14 home runs in his rookie season in about 120 games. If you have Roberts or Cano as your starting 2b, Id think about trading them and just slotting Kinsler in that spot because he'll come close to giving you similar production(Minus the steals Roberts gives you).

Hafner played FOUR games at first base last year...the Yahoo requirement to have a player earn positional status is FIVE games at a position.
Someone should tell their coach so that he doesnt hinder so many fantasy managers.
On the bright side, Kinsler is making a quick progression to becoming one of my top 2 favourite 2B in the league right now.
