Dahlen or Appling?

PostMon Apr 02, 2018 5:29 pm

In a 100M singles park, would you recommend going with Dahlen or Appling? I am noticing that a lot of the top managers seem to select Dahlen, but to me it seems to be a toss-up between the two of them.

Any preferences?

Thanks

I've got these two rated about even - Dahlen's less expensive, so better value.

It's also somewhat dependent on what you need. Appling is a much better hitter w/ super-high OBP, so ideal for leadoff. I've had great success with "Old Aches and Pains"

Both of the higher priced versions are very good, and are good value plays as well. I rate both about the same, but I think Dahlen has a slight edge with better defense and lower salary.
