Marcus Giles and Tejada

[Freebird27]

Since both are shallow positions, how close behind Tejada is Giles(when healthy) offensively..taking into account keeper formating

In a keeper Giles is closer but with Tejada's 2nd half splits, I'd expect him to have numbers better than or equal to his MVP year. Tejada is going to have Giles beat by a notable margain in homeruns and RBIs and will either beat him by a little, be equal to, or be little lower than him in runs and average. Tejada is easily the better player IMO but Giles does get a bump up since it's a keeper.

Both are of very high value in a keeper league as for Giles - Kent and Boone will be one more year towards retirement, leaving Soriano as really the only other better 2B. Arod will lose SS. Nomar is slowing, Renteria has been just above average, Furcal was average, leaving Tejada probably the number one SS by far next year. I like Tejada much better, but still think Giles wil be a sexy pick next year.
