Who would you rather have at Camden Yards Magglio Ordonez, Nick Markakis, or Michael Cuddyer? My CF is Tori Hunter and LF is Andre Ethier.

I think Magglio Ordonez is the guy I'd rather have.

I haven't had that WOW performance from Ordonez but for the price he's still the one I would take.

Mags definitely but I don't like your CF or LF.

I have never seen anyone take Hunter. I took him this time and have many LH SP in my entire league. Wonder why no one ever takes him even with a 1 rating and -3 arm. Now I know. 188AB 4D 6HR 17RBI with a BA of .223 OBP .288 and slugging a robust .340. All this 54 games in and I'm 27-27. Did I mention that there are many LH SP in my league. 17 regular starters to be exact. 6 in my division alone. This guy is a bust but I am living with him because of his defense and I don't want to lose 20% of his salary. I am also at Chase Field with a 1-13 single and 1-13 HR for righthanded hitters. He might do better for you but that is not saying much. I do like Mag's though. Sorry for the news.

I can unfortunetly echo the hunter sentiments, one of the reasons Im not as thrilled as others seem to be that the real life angels brought him out west. it's especially concerning that he's underpeforming against lots of lhp. had him in a 200m league strictly platooning against lhp, and he batted 212 in nearly 300 ab. by end of the season, I ended up playing granderson both ways and got better results.

I was satisfied with the output per $ the one season I had him at CELL

Hunter, Torii R CF 1(-3)e5 613 92 157 22 0 44 102 42 128 11 0 1 .256 .307 .507 2L 6.48M

Hunter gives you great defense and if you're in a hitting park, will give you 30-40 HR's.

But just like Andruw Jones, he'll hit around .250.

Hunter and Ordonez at the CELL. Happy with both.
This is the only time I took Hunter, Ordonez is one of my favorites of 2007
