Thanks. That was where my gut was sending me, so glad to get a second opinion.

Hey KB -
Sorry about Votto. Should have known Dusty would find a way to defy logic.

I’d take Nick Johnson. When healthy, he hits. I’m just not impressed with Kotchman.

I ended up with Votto as my 1b (I used the point shares draft kit). Now I need a 1b who actually plays. I have rights to both Nick Johnson and Casey Kotchman from our free agent draft but need to decide today. Any thoughts on which of those two I shoudl go with?

I like Gutierrez more than Rudy. I see an upside of 70/20/80/.270/20.

Albuqwirke — Aurilla looks like he might get you first round value. I could not believe the game Kip Wells put up yesterday. An absolute nightmare.

It all matters what you need. Taveras seems like a good bet for .280/40 SB/80+ Runs but little else. Gutierrez projects to 15 HR/10 SB with maybe 60 RBIs & Runs. Nady could repeat last year’s 20/70 if he stays healthy and gets 500 ABs. But he’s likely to be traded this year so he’ll fall short of all those marks.

See the commentary here (http://razzball.com/opening-day-part-3/#comments) for other OFs worth considering if available…

What do you see Gutierrez doing this year? I have Willy Taveras in my OF and Gutierrez is available as well as Xavier Nady.

Who do you like?

Retire???

Seriously… Rich Aurilia should be hitting 2nd AND 6th every time through the Giants lineup!!! I’ve named Rich the official captain and batting instructor of my Razzball team.
