I have a poll question. I am in PNC and want to know opinions on whether you would take Uribe or belliard. it is 13 Singles and 7HRBP. I have Uribe due to three position flexibility and HR power. Belliard better OBP.

Both are good. I would lean towards Belliard. Check your division opponents out. If there are several LHP in the rotation I would deffinately go with Belliard. If they are almost all RHP I would stick with Uribe.

I've played Belliard twice in Wrigley, and love him. It is true that if your divisional opponents don't feature a decent number of lefties you should probably pass on him in favor of Uribe. But assuming you'll have some lefties to shoot at, keep Belliard. Doubles galore! His R3L balance will have you batting him no higher than 6th against righties, probably lower depending...but hit him #2 against lefties and you'll be glad you did!
