Who is for real, Kyle Banks or Austin Jackson. WHIR!

[devastor]

In a 12 team Yahoo! points only league, and with Lidge on the DL I got a slot open. Who do you think is for real and would be a decent pickup:

Kyle Banks (people are saying this could be his breakout season)
Austin Jackson (leadoff for Detroit and tearing it up this spring.)

Thanks for your help! leave a link!

Depends, i know your just looking for an upside guy, but Blanks is a power hitter, Jackson is a base stealer.

I see Blanks around 25HR/85RBI with a .275-.280ave
I see Jackson around 15-18SB/70R with a .280ave

Personally I like Blanks more because of the fact that I think he sees many more ABs this year. I also think once the games count that Jackson will come back to earth, and it will take him a little longer to adjust and begin producing then it will Blanks who had some experience last year. 2 major things that hurt both of them, Blanks a bit more then Jackson is their homeparks are anything but hitter friendly. I still like Blanks because, albeit a small sample, we did get a big league sample size of what he can do in the bigs, and he will have a much longer leash, imo, then Jackson will.
