2nd round pick? WHIR 100%

Postby Carnac » Sat Mar 07, 2009 5:27 pm

beltran or manny?

right now have Davis at 3rd (keeper) and Tex at 1st. If I pick Manny will take Roberts 2B in the 4th. Who would you pick and why.

i'd go with Beltran believe it or not. i would prefer the added speed he's gonna give you with the keepers you already have. i think he will hit a safe .280-.290 hit 25 hr and steal 20-25 on a high powered offense, so his runs and rbi's will also be in the 100's. i like manny to hit 300 and hit 30 hr and drive in over a 100 but you never know when manny is gonna nurse a muscle pull for 10 games because he's such a prima donna. i believe beltran is your best fit.

I am leaning heavily toward Beltran. Just want to know if most think so.

I'd pick Beltran as well. His spike in SB and runs has me ranking him just above Manny. Manny is tempting but isn't the 5 tool player that Beltran is. I would go with him.

I go Beltran. The speed/power combo is tough to pass up. Plus in the Mets lineup, always hits for AVG too, etc.

Beltran is the safer pick here and with your powerful offense so far I feel there is no need to screw it up with a risky pick in Manny. Roll with Beltran, who is surefire to produce his All-Star level numbers, and is defintely more of a 5x5 as compared to Manny (Beltran gives you SBs) ;-D

I am in a similar situation. I am leaning towards Beltran becuase of the SBs, but Manny was a beast last year on the dodgers...

I'd go with Beltran because of his versatility.
