Teixeira or M Cabrera?

M-Cab especially with 3rd base eligibility....

the better question is - who do you like out of the Braun, Sizemore, M-Cab debate?

That probably is a better question; my debate was between M-Cab and Tex because of my specific situation (the other players are unavailable) because although it seems like a no-brainer in M-Cab's favor, Tex has been such a consistent player and he gets benefit of 314-ft. to right field + he's always hit more homers from the left side of the plate so I think he's got a chance to hit closer to 40 bombs again this year.

I expect around 30. Tex has always padded his stats at home, mostly due to playing in TBIA. His home/road ops spilts are around .100. While his numbers at Yankee stadium are only 105 abs, it equals his average road numbers.

Still MCab for me; taking him 4th in my 10 team H2H league that uses OPS instead of Avg.

Drafting M-Cab in the top 5 is completely justifiable; drafting Teixeira in the top 5 is not. M-Cab always. And I would also take M-Cab over Braun and Sizemore.

mcab plays first and third in my league, so i would go with him

[Halo Homers]

I agree with M Cab. I think he will outperform Tex in every category with the possible exception of rums.

I took MCAB over Tex, BUT would you take both if you had the chance?

I drafted last night, 12 team, H2H, first year of a keeper league. I had 8th pick, and MCAB fell to eigth, so I grabbed him. My next pick was 17th, and Tex was still available. I was planning on taking an Outfielder, BJ Upton, Soriano, or Beltran (all available), but I couldn't pass on Tex seeing that he is taken in the first round in a lot of drafts.

As a result, my outfield looks like this.......Ichiro, Hunter Pence and Lastings Miledge.

Still wondering if I did the right thing. I had my plan laid out, but had to change it a little.

So, I guess my question, or little twist is, would you rather have Tex, or Soriano/Beltran/Upton?
