    Upton and Cruz better than my man Jayson Werth??? $20 says Werth is better than both. That’s right one vs two.

    Fantasy dollars earned? In the spirit of me giving you two entries, let me get 140 games played clause for Werth?

    ok done. Note part of the reason I downgrade Werth is his past injury troubles, but I def. think it’s fair since you are giving me two guys.

    I like to see three of my guys in your top four (as I went super stars and scrubs in my auction, and am preying for Strassburg). I agree with Longoria at #4.

    I think an argument can be made for McCann to be the #1 catcher. Granted, it is absurd due to the ridiculous season Mauer had last season, but nobody actually believes Mauer will repeats 28 homers, so if he reverts to the guy who averaged 9 homers per year, and the wind patters/cold weather (it is Minnesota) turn Target into a pitchers park (The team believes the dimensions/foul territory favor it being a hitters park), I can see Mauer getting outperformed. As for Vmart, his career stats are actually very similar to McCann’s (21hr/100rbi/.299 vs 21/92/.293 for McCann, and that is not counting Vmart’s 2008 bust), he is past his prime (31 as a catcher), and had the luxury of playing 70 games at first base last year (which wont happen this year) where he slugged .537 vs the .420 he slugged while catching. With McCann being 26, how surprising would it be to see him increase his average line to 28-30hr, 100 rbi, and a .310 average? So the upside is there, and he also strikes me as the safest bet of the bunch.

    McCann will never have more than 70 Runs scored, move him to the AL and he can compete with Vmart and Mauer, in the NL he is limited do to no DH.

    If you’ve ever owned McCann you know Cox won’t play him more than 5 days a week.

    I can certainly appreciate McCann as a better 4th round pick than Mauer in the first or VMart in the third.

    I was definitely pleased to get McCann with the 41st pick and Jeter with the 50th in the Rotoscoop draft…even though owning Jeter makes me feel ill.
