FWIW i took andrus with the last selection in the Experts 12-Team Mixed League at MDC - Pat DiCaprio Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:24:38 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/has-elvis-andrus-become-a-sleeper-option.html#comment-1207 Anyone who think .295 is anything but a great average for a 19 year old to put up in AA is off their rockers. Andrus has shown to be a very fast learner. Continued getting better as the season went on, then did the same in winter ball playing with guys much older than him. As far as the walks go, look at his winter league stats (25BB/179AB). His last 10 games he hit over .300 with 4 SB and 5BB to 7K... the guy adapts very quickly. No middle infielder is expected to hit for power when they are 20. Andrus is not a great option for this year, but he\'ll be very decent in 2010 and will go in the top three rounds in drafts after that point. He doesn\'t have to hit for power.. he\'ll hit .290+ with 40 + SB and 10 HR and that will be enough. - Johan Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:16:25 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/has-elvis-andrus-become-a-sleeper-option.html#comment-973 I leave him- unless you have a very deep bench. - kevinorris Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:43:05 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/has-elvis-andrus-become-a-sleeper-option.html#comment-966 Take him late or leave him for waiver wire ? - tonycincotta Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:12:51 +0100 http://fantasypros911.com/has-elvis-andrus-become-a-sleeper-option.html#comment-962 I have a few things to say about Andrus: 1) When he was with the Braves a couple of years ago I kept hearing that his ETA (Estimated time of Arrival) was 2010 at the earliest, likely 2011 because he was very youthful and head a lot to improve upon at the the plate. 2) One of the reasons he was drafted by the Braves, and the Rangers wanted him was because of his defense. Last year in just over 100 games he had 30+ errors. That doesn\'t seem like a solid defensive player to me. 3) I understand he has speed, but that\'s about it at this point in time. He has little to no power and hits for a moderate average. 4) I don\'t get into BABIP or any stats beyond the basic ones, but isn\'t it true that guys like B.J. Upton who have speed have higher BABIP because they can run out infield singles. Doesn\'t this mean that Andrus would be able to do the same, and his BABIP shouldn\'t really be taken into much effect. 5) Andrus hasn\'t been to AAA yet. Alex Gordon skipped that stage and it seemed to slow him down, and he has still yet to blossom into the player we once expected him to be. This could be a factor with Andrus as well if he takes over short stop. - kevinorris Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:55:38 +0100
