ZIG's Weekly Toss Up.

[Zito is God]

Starting this week I will be doing a toos up of two players at a certain position a couple of times a week. Just list the reasons of qwho you'd rather take and why you think they will produce better fantasy implications.

Toss Up: Aubrey Huff or Aramis Ramirez? Discussion time...

ARam hands down

ARAMIS RAMIREZ... not really a big fan of Huff, he handcuffed me last year with that bad start.

[Pujols100M]

Aramas. Not by a ton, but still. Better lineup protection with Burnitz & Nomar. Should have more RBI opps, plays in an overall weaker division (see Mil, Pit, Cin pitching), I believe has a better stadium to hit in and coming off a better year. IMO. And I'm more of a Huff fan - I have sympathy for anyone who can be productive and still play for TB in the Juice Box.

[bleach168]

ARam is 18 mohths younger than Huff and has more MLB experience than Huff.

[Tavish]

Huff by a small margin. Production should be very similar across the board although I fully expect Huff to have the higher average of the two by about 20 points. Plus he gives you the extra position eligibility.

[Dmville]

I'd say Aramis, as I'd hope he'd pick some of the 180 RBI's that just left in Alou and that other guy.

He is now going to be a leader on this team both on the field and in the clubhouse, so we'll have to see how he handles the pressure.

[Payne Dailey]

Aramis, I like his team and park better.

[ensanimal]

very close here.

huff has the extra positional elig, and more consistent production.

aram has the higher upside, but also has the lower lowside.
(thanks raiders for that one)

[Absolutely Adequate]

I've ranked every player in the majors this year. I had a little extra time during Christmas.

Anyway, in all those ranked players, I only ranked two as exactly the same. Aram and Huff.

So it depends what you need. Huff will hit for a better average but Aram will out-homer him. Neither will steal any real bases.
