Cabrera or Furcal?

[Jean]

I've been trying to be patient with Cabrera, but it looks like the Expos are going to be the Tiger's from last year. I know they've got a few players down and I also know that Cabrera was strong when Vlad was out last year, but for some reason they just can't pull it together.

Now Furcal has been injured once, but he's playing well since he's been back. The Braves lineup still seems strong and will be even stronger once Chipper gets back.

Who is going to have the better year? Who would you take from here on out if you were in a 10 team, h2h, points based league?

I like Cabrera better here, but its very, very close.

I'm not sure Cabrera will put up the #s he did last year, mainly because the team is so much worse, but the same goes for Furcal. I think Furcal is still enamored with all of the HRs he hit in the first half of last year and will suffer for it.

My vote is Cabrera

I would go with Cabrera.

Hows the point scoring done? Are steals worth the same as HRs? If so, Furcal - if not, Cabrera.

Homer - 4
Triple - 3
Double - 2
Single - 1
Stolen Base - 2
Run - 2
RBI - 1
BB - 1

So a solo homer actually counts as 6 points since it's a homer, a run, and an RBI.

Well by my count it would be 7, since you've got runs listed as 2. If thats the case, Furcal in a landslide because he's a leadoff man and in much better position to score runs. If you meant that a run is worth 1 I still like Furcal but its much closer.
