Fielder
Pedroia
Upton

I'm still not sold on Upton. I need to see him gain some consistency and put up a really nice season before ranking him ahead of the other two.

thanks for your help on mine

I actually have all three over a few leagues, and my ranking would be:

Pedroia
Fielder
Upton

For what it is worth, I get by far the most trade requests for Pedroia.


(Also, thanks for help on mine. I thought the Miggy/Hart side was better, but I thought I was losing my mind when all the posts were saying the opposite.)

+1 ;-D

How can you not rank last years MVP first? Fielder is going to average more K's than he weighs.

Here's my ranking and why:

Pedroia, Upton, Fielder

If it's in a vacuum based solely on talent, it's Upton, Pedroia, Fielder. That's not the case though. 2B is the shallowest of those spots, and OF is clearly the deepest, unless you start 5. At second, it's Pedroia, Kinsler, Utley, and..? 1B has Pujols, Morneau, Fielder, M. Cabrera, etc. OF has TONS of highly talented guy (a few: Sizemore, 2 Uptons, Beltran, Bruce, Soriano, Crawford...). I take Pedroia #2 in talent, but 2B is so shallow he wins.

Pedroia
Fielder
Upton

Very close among the 3 and I don't think there is a wrong way to go if you can only keep/get one. How they fit your own roster / category needs would be the deciding factor IMO.

Fielder, Pedroia, Upton -- flip flop the last two depending on whether you need SB or AVG. If doubles count, go nuts with Pedroia.

MVP is irrelevent. I think Pedroia is the least talented of the 3. I think he is the more overrated one, and has the hardest time repeating.
