i honestly won't... i think davis has an outstanding year this year and for many many more years... and i may be the only guy that says this, but ramirez seems a tad overrated to me, he has produced those stats for even a full year, and check his spring numbers... yes yes yes i know its only ST but it still means something or else they wouldn't have it... and i don't think your option at 2B is really that bad in lopez... hope it helps...

help me out...

IMO, if your thinking this year alone, go with Alexi b/c he can slide right into your 2B slot, while Davis is on your bench. But, since this is a keeper & I assume you'd want to keep one of these guys, stick with Davis, he has the higher ceiling.

please help:

Agreed. You have a contending team, why let Davis rot on the bench? Yea his upside is nice but where are you going to play him? Even as a keeper you already have Pujols and Howard. I dont see where he fits. Alexei helps you now and is better than Lopez and Hardy. You could def use the bags as well. Id do it. Winning now is what matters.

How many guys do you keep? If it's not that many is he even gonna make the cut? That roster is loaded

Just to add, i like Davis as much as the next guy and while his upside is big there really arent too many players that are successful with his K rate. He strikesout a TON. I know the hype is huge with this guy but id temper expectations for at least this year. I think he faces a tough adjusment period his sophmore year.
