Dear RotoRob: Do the Drew?
We’d rather have Jhonny Peralta than Stephen Drew, for 2008 at least. (AI Wire photo)
Dear RotoRob.com,
In a Roto keeper league that uses OBP instead of BA, who would you rather have - Jhonny Peralta or Stephen Drew?
Steve
Steve,
Drew projects out at around .260/.332/.418, whereas Peralta should be close to .275/.350/.445. So, based on that and taking into account everything else, I take Peralta over Drew next season. Beyond 2008, however, I would likely lean towards Drew, poised for a serious breakout very soon.

Talk about a crap shoot. Since it’s a keeper league, I’d take Drew because of his upside. Peralta’s crummy 2006 is still fresh in my mind (yes I did own him that year - no I don’t any more).
There’s no doubt that Drew has way more potential upside, agreed. As for Peralta, he’s a tough nut to crack, but it is likely that he’ll be more valuable than Drew for at least one more season.
