PrintSeeing how I'm not playing fantasy baseball I have no idea who won Dan's over/under on Bonifacio being picked up by fantasy players. But if I had to guess, the over was the way to go.
The love for Emilio Bonifacio has reached dizzying heights. Here's yet another question we received about the Marlins' speedster:
I have Bonafacio in my standard 5 x 5 roto league. Another owner has offered me Carlos Pena for him. I currently have Carlos Delgado at 1B, Miguel Cabrera at 3B and Bonafacio as my DH. I have enough stolen bases between Corey Hart, Chone Figgins, and Ryan Theriotto keep my team afloat, so I'm not worried about losing 30 SB. Is Pena a good flip for Bonafacio or do you think I can entertain better offers? -- Paul K.
My recommendation here is: Dude, make the trade.

I was able to pick him up from free agency in three of my four fantasy teams
I got Jordan Schafer in all four.
AC/DC + Tampa Bay Rays = Big Balls on a Budget
hahah
MAKE THE TRADE!!!! You’d be crazy not to.
Somebody picked him up in both my leagues. I’m not on his or Schafer’s train, but Jordan got a lot more consideration that Emilio. Emilio stole against the Nats, and few of those probably would have been outs if the throws were actually on target or the defensive player weren’t covering the bag in a manner to stop EB from going right over it.
I have Bonifacio in my league — signed him right after the second steal on Opening Day. And I’ve seen ownership on him go up from 1.5% to over 65% since then. But to be honest, he’s not THAT valuable. I continue to see him as a Michael Bourn type, maybe a little better hitter — cheap steals, basically. He’ll get his runs, and if we’re lucky, the average won’t be too awful. And note that he’s eligible at 2B and (soon enough) 3B — which would make him more valuable than Bourn, assuming they were otherwise equal.
I also have Pena, but may trade him — fortunately, I already have Bonifacio, so I don’t have to deal for him. Of course, I may be undervaluing Pena because my roster consists primarily of big slow guys who mostly get home runs and walks. (Fortunately, my league counts walks.) I wasn’t meaning to acquire Adam Dunn, Pat Burrell, and Jack Cust — it just happened that way. Oh, my poor batting average.
