Who is Ian Kinsler?

I picked this guy up in the fantasy free agent and he has been awesome. 7 hr 13 rbi's 12 runs, I never even heard of this guy before, also Is Sammy sosa making a comeback, hes been batting very good so far this season 3 hr 10 rbi's 5 runs..

Re: Who is Ian Kinsler?

I also picked him up, shocked that he was in the free-agency bin.

Thus far, he looks like a promising young second-baseman. I dropped both Robinson Cano and Orlando Hudson to add him to my roster. He is definitely worth it with the numbers that he is producing.

I'm not sure if he will keep it up, or will fade out of the picture. He will probably turn out to be like a Chris Shelton or Scott Kazmir character, as evident last season. However, this is unpredictable.

Sammy Sosa looks like a decent pick-up, thus far. He had an incredible Spring-Training, and has carried on those skills into the Regular Season. I'm not sure if I would expect a full-time starter out of him in fantasy baseball, but he is undoubtly one of the guys you would want on your roster.

Re: Who is Ian Kinsler?

Kinsler had a good rookie season and some power...though at 7 hrs this early you should trade him...at best he is a 26-28 homer guy, and 7 are gone...

Re: Who is Ian Kinsler?

His stock is at his highest, but I believe that he is still one of the better second-basemen in the game. Kinsler is next to Chase Utley, and perhaps Orlando Hudson. In order to trade him, it truly depends on the other options you have at second.

Of course.

In that case, I would trade Kinsler if you can get some other hot stars.

Manny Ramirez might be on the move in your league, due to his recent slump.

Re: Who is Ian Kinsler?

well I ended up trading kinsler for paul konerko. Even though he is in a slump Im banking on him heating up and hitting like the past few seasons, I picked up kinsler in FA anyway and I have dan uggla and brandon phillips for 2b. Is this a good trade?
