Went with CC but Bay was a close 2nd and Vladdy isn't far behind either.

I actually like Bay here over CC by the smallest of margins

kemp for me.

Really tough call at this point. Love the upside of Bay, Crawdaddy, even Kemp. Don't think you could go wrong putting Ichiro here. Rockin' batting average and a ton of steals.

I think I'd take Bay, more upside than Ichiro, less risk than Kemp and Crawford IMO.

[Inukchuk]

I think Crawdaddy's in for a nice bounceback...

Bay edges out kemp here by a small margin. I think Bay will put up some big numbers fulltime in the boston lineup this year.

As do I.

Why is Carl Crawford getting so much love? I don't see the appeal there. We all know he's a .300 hitter who can hit 15 HRs and steal 50 bags. Kemp has the same potential except less steals and more run production (HR's and RBI's). I wouldn't take that over Vlad's consistent .300 average, 30 homers and 100RBI, though. I know Vlad is declining but he's still a much more reliable pick then Crawford and Kemp, IMO. Bay is another very solid option and I almost voted for him, but I like Vladimir a little bit more.
