I'll take Miggy, this year and beyond. Tex is a close 2nd, Howard a distant 3rd.

1 Tex
2 Howard
3 Miggy

That is my 3-4-5 at first base, with Pujols and Berkman at 1 and 2.

Teixeira has the advantage for batting average as a great switch hitter, and would expect him to rival Howard in R and RBI in that Yankee lineup. Howard is very frustrating especially in H2H leagues because of hot and cold streaks, but you can easily pencil him in for 40/110 minimum each year if he's healthy. He's more of a risk than Tex, though.

Cabrera is similar to Prince Fielder in that he isn't an elite option but is close and is also in a nice lineup. He's 3rd best at 3rd behind Wright and Chipper, as well.

How does Tex have the BA advantage?

Career average

Miggy .309 in tough hitting parks

Tex .290 in great hitting parks

The NYY lineup is good, but i don't think it's any better then Phillys or Detroits.

[BALCO All-Stars]

This year:

Cabrera, Howard, Tex

Going forward:

Cabrera, Tex, Howard

Tex's BA improved a ton when he was traded to the American League, and I'd expect the extremely high BA to continue.

Plus, the detroit park favors the hitter about as much as the Braves field and more than Anaheim.
