I agree I'd rather have Halladay than Oswalt.I really don't get how Carlos Lee is better than Jason Bay, in fact, I'd take Bay over Lee every day of the week.Bay is 2 years younger than Lee, and although this isn't a dynasty league, all things being equal, I'll generally lean torward the younger guy.Bay's lifetime OBP is about 30 points higher than Lee. (OP didn't specify if it were average or OBP league, if it was a BA league, Lee has a slight advantage)Bay for the first time in his life plays in a potent offense in a very nice hitters park, in particular for righties. For the first 5-6 years of his career he was surrounded by sub par talent and still managed decent seasons. Nowadays he will hit 5th in what should be one of the top 5 offenses in the major leagues. The guys hitting directly in front of him get on base at an unbelievable clip. Lee plays on a dismal offensive team.If you take a look at their historical 162 game averages, these guys are about identical. Give me the younger guy that plays on a better offensive team.Figgins is a lot more valuable than Beltre unless your team is stocked with SB's. Again, this is a case of the good offensive team vs the poor one. Seattle plays in a pitchers park, and that offense is weak (you know your offense is weak when talk about bringing in Jack Wilson to sure up the offense is thrown around). Figgins plays at the top of a potent lineup (even without Guerrero right now). He gets on base a heluva lot better than Beltre. If Figgins stays healthy the whole year (BIG question), I'd expect no less than 115 runs, 40 sb's, a .275ave/.370 obp). With those numbers, Beltre better hit a lot better than .210 and hit closer to 35 homers than 20 homers to tilt the numbers in favor of Beltre.
