I think ichiro is overrated because he can only deliver 3 categories and superior to granderson in two-(steals & avg), and so I voted for granderson because he has more upside overall dispersed through 5 categories.

Granderson
Curtis Granderson only swiped 12 bases in 2008, and manager Jim Leyland is going to talk to him about being more aggressive this season, according to the Detroit News. Leyland said, "Some of that is my fault, not ordering the steal. But I think he is probably a little too tense. He needs to be a bit more relaxed over there."

Granderson over Abreu, I like the help in all 5 cats and the potential.
I'm hesitant in going for Ichiro, I don't like having to make up the RBI/HR loss from my 2nd OF slot.
...Boston papers now and then suffer a sharp flurry of arithmetic on this score; indeed, for Williams to have distributed all his hits so they did nobody else any good would constitute a feat of placement unparalleled in the annals of selfishness. -Updike

I went with Abreau. He still helps in 5 categories. I almost went with Granderson. Ichiro's weak team hurts his value. Solid in 3 categories only.
