My home field is US Cellular.

Others in division[list=] Bank One, Angels Field and SAFECO

Would you pick Phil Nevin or David Wright.

Aramis Ramirez is currently my 3b but he's a 4, Wright has better defense (2) and good power but Nevin has good power and a better OBP. His Defense won't come into play at DH.

What would you choose :?: ...thanks

It really depends on the number of lefty pitching you expect to face inside your division.

The way I see it, if you expect 30% of lefty pitching, then Nevin has the slight edge. His card fits better the park, the C-rating can be handy, and his awful defense is hidden in the dh spot. Further, Wright does have a slightly better defense than Ramirez, but not by much, because of the errors (Wright 26 err, Ramirez 12 err). But I'd go with Wright if you expect 80% of rhp.

Dont have an opinion on the DH hitters, havent used them this season yet, but curious on your name. Are you attending Texas A&M and from Houston? I am from Houston and attended A&M few years back.
