Who would you select if it was between these two in your draft?

MCab every day of the week. I look for him to be a monster this year, same if not better power numbers while bouncing back to his usual .300+ BA in a DET offense that shouldn't struggle as much as they did last year. Not to mention the dual eligibility. Don't let the pinstripes over-inflate Teix.

Hal·la·day, n. 1. every fifth day in Philadelphia. 2. a day of rest for the bullpen. 3. innings eater. 4. doc. 5. ace.

They're close. Tex is in a tremendous lineup once A-Rod returns, so I would give him the slight edge. Otherwise they're about the same in average and power potential.

Like smoove it's MCab all the time for me. With a full year in the AL under his belt, I look for a monster year this year for him.

M-Cab. ;-D
I worry about Tex without Arod in the lineup and I was set on M-Cab over Tex before Arod got hurt.

I would've taken M-Cab over Tex without thinking about it, A-Rod or no A-Rod.

I'd take Cab 1st overall. I'm in a AL-Only league though. More consistency this year, big numbers.

here's mine
