Deep Thoughts on Miguel Cabrera

[Pochucker]

I agree thats why I said 8/9 figure some guys will go for Kemp before him also.

two issues with that list --one is Kemp . I had him last year and he carried my team, howver everyone is assuming that his powerwill take another step forward this yr. I like my 1st rders to have "done it" not depend on them to "get better" to be first rd stats.(believe he is 11 or 12th) Other is Howard --you can argue what spot he should be in 1st rd but wherever it is I will always draft Fielder one spt in front of him. His avg (and power against lefties) is accident waiting to happen.

Kemp did enough last year to be the #6 pick. .297, 26HR, 34SB and 198 R+RBI's. I'll take that over the extra HR's and RBI's that the 1Bman will give you.

Possibly adding more power is just a bonus.

No one would take Howard of M-cab?

I would be more likely to consider it in roto than H2H, but still probably not in either scenario.
