easiest one so far imo, quentin is in a tier above all these guys.

I obviously went with Quentin here, but I kind of like Crawford this late as well. Markakis is a nice option as well.

Markakis for me, great all around player and I wouldn't be surprised to really see him come into his own this year. Quentin is just a big injury risk I'd stay away from.

Crawford is the easyh and smart choice,

Quentin or Markakis. I say Markakis and Quentin under-performs.

Hard hittin' Quentin

I like Quentin over these guys but I'm not 100% sold on the wrist being a non-factor.

I'm not sure if it'll be that big of a deal. He injured his right wrist, which is top hand on the bat. Most of the other 'wrist guys' injured the bottom hand.
Just throwin' that thought out there.

Quentin or Markakis. I say Markakis and Quentin under-performs.

Under performing after a 43 HR/115 RBI/110 R/9 SB pace with a .288 AVG and 148 OPS+ would still be pretty damn good. My predictions for the two:

Quentin: 35 HR, 108 RBI, 100 R, 7 SB, .293 AVG
Markakis: 26 HR 97 RBI, 90 R, 13 SB, .310 AVG

On top of that, Quentin has the upside to be the best OF in the game IMO. And coming from a diehard Cubs fan that means a lot.
