OF- Ichiro SEA

SP- Cliff Lee CLE
SP- Jake Peavey SD
SP- Felix Hernandez SEA
SP- Roy Halladay TOR
SP- Shawn Marcum TOR

CP- Jon Rauch WSH

use this year's stas


Ok I will list the differnces!

C- Rob Barajas
3B- A. Beltre
SS- J Peralta

Those were my three differences, now the fun part the arguing


Lets compare stats:

Martinez v Barajas
M- .278 AVG 17R 55H 112B 0HR 21RBI 66TB 16BB 23K .332OBP .333SLG
B- .276AVG 22E 48H 132B 7HR 27RBI 82TB 10BB 29K .330OBP .471SLG
Barajas has better numbers in 2 more games than Martinez. Adv- Barajas
As I was looking at the defensive stats, they are pretty much equal.

Blake v Beltre

C.Blake- .279AVG 39R 79H 212B 8HR 47RBI 124TB 26BB 61K 2SB 0CS .353OBP .438SLG
A.Beltre- .253AVG 43R 84H 142B 16HR 44RBI 146TB 36BB 56K 7SB 1CS .324OBP .440SLG
Yes, Beltre has some better numbers, but Blake's numbers are pretty colse more to come on these two.

Peralta v Guzman

G- .311AVG 50R 119H 252B 23B 5HR 29RBI 163TB 15BB 31K 3SB 3CS .339OBP .426SLG
P- .250AVG 49R 80H 212B 13B 14HR 40RBI 145TB 22BB 68K 2SB 0CS .297OBP .453SLG
So, as you look at the numbers Guzman are a lot better, the only thing Peralta does it hit for more power and drive in runs. Guzman's numbers other than that are better.

There we go, its your turn now, GOOD LUCK!

Well I'll continue about what I was saying before.

Blake v Beltre
Blake has 31 XBH and Beltre has 30. Also Blake has a .805 OPS, Beltre has a .767.
Now we will look at fielding stats:

Bl- 607IN 183TC 37PO 135A 11E 15DP 2.55range factor .940 FLG %
Be- 777.0IN 241TC 59PO 171A 11E 16DP 2.66range factor .954 FLG %

Next, Peralta and Guzman
Peralta has 39 XBH and Guzman has 32 . Also Guzman has a OPS of .767 and peralta with .761

G- 800IN 395TC 121PO 265A 9E 52DP 4.34RF .977FLD %
P- 714.1IN 383TC 121PO 255A 7E 58DP 4.74RF .982FLD &

There are the numbers, for the fielding stats, Peralta has played 8 less games at SS so that is why he has less errors.

Nothing else to say!

3b

Wow. I didn't know the Houston Astros are in last place. Berkman is having a tremendous year but no corner infielder from a last place team should ever get MVP.
