More value, Feliz or O.Cab?

[RynMan]

Hey guys, just wondering who you think has more value in a 14 team league, 6x6 with OPS. O.Cab or Feliz? Do you think it's fairly close?

I like O-Cab a lot more, even with OPS as a stat.

I like O-Cab a lot more

Really? "a lot more"? I'm not going to repeat everything I already said in the Feliz/OCab thread posted earlier today but seriously, a lot more? Let me guess - you didn't have OCab on your team last summer, right? blah, blah, blah. Why do people think this guy is so above someone like Feliz? Listen, I myself enjoyed that magical summer in 2003 when OCab (with that awesome afro) and Vasquez were tearing up fantasy squads everwhere BUT those times are over my friend - OCab is average at best, scary-bad at worst. Seriously, I think there's a chance he bats .260 this year.

Sorry Cabrera burned you... I had him in 2003, 2004 and again this year, so I know just how bad he can be...

However, I see big things for him in Anaheim, maybe it's because he's reunited with Vlad, maybe because the lineup is ten times better than any in Montreal, maybe because he hit 300 with some power after going to a good lineup last year. I also think he's going to run more.

Anyway, Cabrera is mainly better because of the steals he brings and the guaranteed playing time (What happens to Feliz when bonds gets back?). Feliz could hit you 25 HR, but Cabrera could steal you 25 bags with 15 HR, which would be much more valuable than Feliz. Even if they both hit .260 (I think cabrera will hit about .280), Cabrera is more valuable. Anyway you look at it, Cabrera is the pick.
