Manny Ramirez and Carlos Beltran are disappearing within a slot of each other near the end of the second round of recent drafts over at MDC. Manny’s ADP is that high because most are assuming a return to the Dodgers. I have no problem making that assumption for now, so let’s compare the two outfielders.
Manny should hit more homers and his career average beats Beltran’s by more than 30 points. Beltran, 32, is five years younger and he should steal 20 bases. I have no way of knowing whether Manny can do at 37 what he did at 36, so I’ll play it safe if I’m choosing between the two of them and go with Beltran’s youth and balanced stats. In fact, I would consider taking Beltran in the 15-20 range this year.
