With his contact rate, he should improve on .303, he steals more bases than Berkman and he averaged 33 homers over the last three years. Berkman averaged 34, so that’s neglible. So to say Berkman’s a safer pick if we want homers is either inaccurate or you’re using a crystal ball, and that’s not fair.

As for Holliday, yeah, he is valuable, but my point was it would be nice to hear a bit more from their top expert. BTW, this post was written in November of last year.

re: Santana — this was before the move. Updated ranking are on the home page, or up above. Peavy’s still right there on the king’s throne.

re: Crawford — has a way better track record than Victorino. (Obviously, that’s not the high school track I’m talking about.)

BTW, it’s good when people disagree, helps both of us. Thanks for coming by Corey, and take a look at the updated 100.

Why would Carlos Lee be a natural slugger? Do you mean his high contact rate or his low HR/FB%? Berkman is the safer pick of the two if you want homers, which we all do at that spot.

As long as Holliday plays in Coors, he is very valuable, especially the 2nd half of the year when it gets warmer. This isn’t even up for dispute. Anyone can see the 1st and 2nd half splits of Holliday, Atkins, and Tulowitzki and see something strange is going on.

Santana slipped last year because his home runs allowed went up. He is still better than Peavy. See Peavy 2 years ago, he was rather awful. One amazing year does not dethrone the King, particularly one moving to the NL.

How can Crawford be justified taking this high when your site loves Victorino (as do I)? Extrapolated, they seem like the same player.
