Davis is your 4th. The only guys close are Ichiro, but his age is a concern, and Gallardo.

Id keep Ichiro the target Davis in the draft...

Ichiro is the best player left, but then you will have locked up 3 OF already...take Ichiro.

[converge241]

Suzuki seems like the early leader in votes, any other thoughts?

[Pogotheostrich]

I'd keep Davis. Ichiro is fine but he is already 35 and OBP instead of average hurts his value.

[great gretzky]

I'd keep Ichiro, but Davis is a consideration. Depends what others are keeping, as 3b isn't deep this year really. But OF can get really thin, and while you only start three OF, you do have two Utility spots. I'd lean towards ichiro for that and the steals. Target Davis in the draft, because "value" isn't factored in. If that was the case, Davis might be the guy.

[Urban Cohorts]

My gut says to go with Ichiro, but with your league format I would probably keep Davis. You guys use an extra CI spot, but no extra OF spot. So the value of 1B/3B goes up while OF doesn't. You already have a bunch of OF and the position will be deep in your league.

[somervillesoxfan]

its definitely between Ichiro and Davis and I think that I would go with Davis because I wouldnt want to keep 3 OF's which is a deep position. Also like another poster said that you have additional infielder spots.

help me out

Ive never really been a huge fan of ichiro from a fantasy perspective.

He gives you 100 runs and 40 stolen bases and a .300 avg but there are other players who will give close to that a few rounds later. IE, Victorino.........sacrafice a bit of avg and add more power, same runs, same sb's.

Ichiro is also in the twilight of his career. Once his legs start slowing down that'll be it for him.

I guess with this being a keeper Id lean towards Davis here and hope the hype materializes.

Thanks for your opinion on mine.
