in a 5x5 please rank and if you can give your opinion on these guys that would help alot thanx
i say....
ALL GREAT LINEUPS
ortiz- unlikely to get hurt as fulltime DH AVG around 300 35+ dingers
thome- threat to hit 50 in that bandbox
texiera- can hit 40 young and good lineup
cabrera- compared to pujols awesome talent
I may be the only one, but I feel that Tex is in for a huge year. Miguel Cabrera also. I'm not as keen on Thome as everyone because the age and recent injury history concerns me a bit. Still fine players, 2nd to 3rd rounders all of them.

Id go with Thome, then Ortiz, Teix, and then MCab.
The difference between Ortiz and Cabera last season was 8 Hr and 20 rbi in favor of Ortiz...Cabrera did have 5 steals. Ortiz is comming off a career year and in his prime...Cabrera on the other hand is 21 years old with plenty of room to grow...the sky is the limit for him when putting up those numbers 33 hr 112 rbi 101 R .294 avg at 21 years of age..no way he is overrated
The same argument can be made for Tex....I think it is between the two the edge going to Cabrera
