Who to start at 3B ?

I have Alex Rodriguez on the DL so I need to pick from one of these three 3b to start the season..
Alex Gordon
Adrian Beltre
Ryan Zimmerman

[ZFever]

I think Beltre is in a contract year so he could put up good numbers
Gordon could break out this year
Zimmerman hasn't done much since 06 but hes young and could have a good year.

Out of these 3 I would probably take Beltre just because it's a contract year.

I'd take Zimmerman. Wrist injuries take about a year to bounce back from (power wise), so the broken wrist he suffered in 07 should be finally taken care of. I'm expecting big things from him.

Completely agree.
