marcus giles or blalock?

[mister yagoo]

wondering what people think about the upsides of both of these guys... they're both playing out of their minds and giles seems like he might steal a few bags too. who would you rather pick up off waivers? or alternatively, is trading giles for blalock a good move?

I'd definitely rather have Giles. Blalock is still really green, and Giles seems to have really improved himself. Keeper league, I might say something different, but for this year, I like Giles better.

Anyway, what's more important is what you need. Do you have Soriano? Well, then I guess you should pick up Blalock. These guys play two different positions, so they're not apples and apples.

i like giles too, the third base situation in texas could get weird, but the 2b job is giles' in atlanta,
