David Wright > Miguel Cabrera

[BritSox]

I just selected David Wright with pick 2.1 in Mock Draft IV, which would put him ahead of Miguel Cabrera, who hasn't been picked yet.

NO LINEUP PROTECTION!!! Sheesh... easy as that.

The first three drafts, MCab went before Wright. I took Mcab 2nd in the NLO draft, after only pujols.

Taking them both with a late draft order wouldn't be a bad move...

I do think that bodes well for him in the 2nd half as the hitters get more comfortable. So if Miggy is struggling early: Buy Low!

This is a crafty idea, very sharp observation!!

lets not forget that MCAB has no protection whatsoever this year...last year he had delgado behind him and this year delgad is on wrights side..

i think its very likely that wright puts up better numbers then miggy

I think MCab was protecting Delgado last year..

Protection argument is plain stupid. There is no telling without properly adjusting and projecting the players on the Marlins, what type of lineup impact will have on MCab's value.

I think you would be pretty foolish not to take MCab, who has clearly proven himself for 3 years in a row and with vast improvements in all areas.

I like Wright also but right now, you have to go with MCab.

MCab is the safer pick...

[acsguitar]

David Wright since he has protection now

I see no reason to use standard deviation when it comes to a players value, it makes absolutely no sense to me.

It comes in handy to see the drop off in position scarcity situations.

I've heard some bad things about Miggy's work ethic. I can't remember the source - it's been about 6 months or so - but it was a valid source.

I don't see Miggy getting much better unless he gets a coach that can either reach him or kick him hard enough in the ass to get his attention. He's putting up the numbers he's putting up on pure talent.
