Cooper is a great #5/6 hitter. I'd go with him as long as you have enough OBP 1-4.

Ditto the above. I have had him knock in 150+ in good lineups.

Take Cooper. I have never been disappointed with him, be it a hitters or pitchers park, just an RBI machine!

Powell is great, but I have had good and bad from him, but Cooper has ALWAYS performed! :)

Cooper, easy.

Make sure you have Burns if you can fit him on your roster. You won't want to platoon him in a hitters' park, but in a pitchers' park Burns is better vs. LHP.

I would take Coop if available most of the time, but if you face alot of lefties, Powell's power against lefties is right up there--in that case, if facing more than 35% lefties, would want Powell, particularly in hitters parks, especially in lefty hitter parks.
Have had Powell hit 50 plus in that situation.

Coop!
Above hitting reasons have been put forward but Coop being bulletproof and great defensively totally outway Boog's . He will hit 30+ hr, drive in 100+ be a rock at 1st with his D and for 162 games .
