The fear of injury plays a large part in how I value them. Not to say I wouldn't draft Drew. I would and have. But when faced with one or the other I think Lee is the safer pick and he's no slouch either.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

Miller plays to 2b and 3b. Miller had a 90 hr index, 93 for RHB. US Cellular had a 131 hrs index (2nd highest), and a 140 RHB hr index (3rd highest).
Coors actually ranked 4th in hr index. Wrigley was 1st, US Cellular 2nd, The Bob 3rd, Citizens Bank tied for 4th.
I figured most everyone would go Lee. I'm going to be the lone Drew fan. I think Drews more talented. And he did have a better oba and slugging% then Lee, with Lee in US Cellular.

Wow Wrigley was first? I always thought the Cell was first and then Wrigley was like 2nd or 3rd. Oh well, I guess Chicago is a launching pad

Haha, same here.
I wonder if the owner who had Drew last year was crazy? Drew earned $30 to Lee's $27. Drew had a oba of 436 to Lees 366, 70 points higher. Drew out slugged Lee 569 to 525. Drews career ops is a rather very nice 904. He has a great eye at the plate, with power. Lee leaves the 3rd best offense (865 runs), for the 2nd worst one(631 runs). Think his runs/rbis won't take a hit? Drew played in fewer games, and still had more runs/rbis in a lesser offense. Lee might have the better year, but i honestly don't see anything close to the slamdunk some are suggesting. For their careers, Drew has Lee beat easily in ops.
RICO, why exactly with Drew be horrible this year?

well i guess i didnt mean hell blow horribly like not worthy of being drafted but i guess i mean he doesnt even belong in same tier as carlos lee for outfielders. He has never been very durable and is always an injury risk(although last year he was injury free ), also gotta take into consideration that last year was a contract year for him and hell be moving to Dodger Stadium which definitely wont help his RBI and HR
