Soriano over Santana?

[TheYanks04]

From the CBS site:

Ques: I can keep Johan Santana or Alfonso Soriano -- wish I could keep both. Which one would you hold on to?

B.B.: Ouch. That is rough. But it's an enviable spot to be in because both players qualify as the best at their positions. It seems this season the second-base pool is much more thin than those in the high-end of the starting pitcher's pool. So, in short, keep Soriano.


Soriano over Santana? I do not think so. Wonder if this guy also likes O. Cabrera in the 4th round?

I'd keep Soriano over Santana in a heartbeat.

[TheYanks04]

Yeah I always keep the $20 2b with declining numbers over the #1 keeper ranked, $40 SP and Cy Young winner...makes sense to me...NOT.

[LBJackal]

I'd also take Soriano over Santana.

[nikku88]

I'd take Santana.
I don't like Soriano's decline.

[Mookie4ever]

It's pretty close. The fact that it's a keeper makes me lean towards Santana but I would have to know the scoring before deciding.

[Absolutely Adequate]

Soriano isn't the protypical leadoff hitter, but neither was Ricky Henderson. Sooner or later, Texas will move Soriano back to leadoff where he's comfortable and he'll take off again.

Although I must say, Yanks, that your comment ("NOT!") made me think twice about my position. Truly, sir, your wit is matched only by your intelligence.

Santana is much more valuable. I don't care about position scarcity because you can pick up a decent 2B later in the draft(ie. Roberts, Jiminez, Uribe, Utley etc.) Soriano is good, but in roto and points leagues santana has a huge advantage over him. In a h2h league Santana still is better but the gap between them isn't as big.

In a redraft, I would take Soriano over Santana.

In a keeper league, I would rather have Santana.
