Teixeira or Braun (1 Viewer)

[The Rocker]

Who is the better keeper this year. I am having a tough time with who to take. It is a standard scoring system. I was just looking for some thought on who anyone else would keep. I'm just talking about this year. Our league only has 2 more years left and then we will start from scratch.

Thanks!!

Braun has the ballpark, a great lineup with protection from Prince behind him, and he hits in a division with some good road parks(Wrigley, Houston, Cincy).

Teixeria is in a contract year and he's a hoss, and he seemed quite comfortable in Atlanta last year. He does have some tough pitchers in the division though. Pedro, Santana, Hamels.

I go with Braun, but I might be biased because he carried my team last year.

Braun's 20 SB potential sets him apart, although I don't think he can possibly hit .324 again with all the strikeouts.

plus OF is a tad scarcer than 1B.

I would feel more comfortable going with Texiera. I think he will have a better year. Really, they could both put up very similar stats....with the exception of SB's, CI is more of a power position than speed anywho.
