I would take CarGo two rounds later as well. And I agree with you. However, my whole point was that I saw CarGo getting taken before Pence numerous times, and the question is - straight up - who do you like better. Disregard draft position.
A lot of the downside of Pence is his lack of Runs and RBIs in the past. Both will get a boost this season due to a better spot in the line up. It's Pence all the way.
I like them both. Throwing out draft position, Pence wins out by a hair for me because he's more of a sure thing. Pence's BB% and K% improved nicely last year, and if he can continue that trend he's only going to get better. I think he will still get a little stronger too. I see him hitting 25-30 HRs. That being said I think it's only a matter of time before his SBs take a dip with his poor rate of success.
CarGo looks to be pretty awesome too. I don't really get the BABIP criticism...he's always had a pretty high one. With his speed and solid LD%, I could see him sustaining a .330 BABIP. I expect him to steal considerably more than Pence, but not hit for as much power. I'd like either one on my team. CarGo's K% is something to be watch, but I like everything else I'm seeing...

I think most people couldn't care less about your grammar or spelling, but you really didn't add much to the discussion.

I agree CarGo's ceiling could be quite high, but you gave no logical reasoning as to why you felt CarGo would be a better pick for this season other than Colorado's lineup and a feeling you have...and saying all you know is that he will most likely outproduce Pence just comes off poorly. If you explained why you feel he will outproduce Pence, it would have been better...probably more convincing.
Personally, I think the two are neck and neck in terms of value...I like them both a lot.
