Gotcha sir!

I will continue to read your posts rather as pure entertainment or maybe even as something of value. For what it is worth I agree with both Holliday and Mags rankings on your part, but I see Abreu as a slightly better value, possibly around 13-16 range. You are the one with a track record so I guess I should listen more to you. LOL

Good times are here as that injury filled crap hole of a football season is in the books and Baseball is on its way.

Are we drafting Abreu and Ordonez as much as we're drafting their lineups?

Last year Julio Lugo owners were predicting 120 runs while hitting in front of Ortiz and Manny. They forgot that Lugo had to hit to score that many runs.

While it looks right now that Abreu and Ordonez can easily produce numbers, they are past peak as one likes to say. Jeter's numbers last year is a reminder that a good lineup will not cure an individual's lackluster performance.

In ranking outfielders this year, personalities will certainly come into play. The old guard of players like Ordonez, Abreu, Guerrero, and Beltran vs the up and comers in Rios, Granderson, Markakis, and Hart. Stability vs. the future. There is nothing like fantasy baseball.

One thing nobody mentions about Abreu is that this is a contract year. I see a monster season hitting 3rd for the Yanks.
