We had some interesting discussion on my Alex Rodriguez post a few days ago, so I thought I would post an article on one of the topics discussed. My article asked if Alex Rodriguez is a first round pick in 2011? I included who I would include as my first round picks in 2011, but did leave out Ryan Braun. I also left out Alex Rodriguez, but included David Wright.
I was very vocal about David Wrights poor 2009 season where he hit just 10 HRs, and I was down on him, but felt going into the 2010 season that he could rebound, and he did. Meanwhile, I ranked Alex Rodriguez as my #1 third baseman going into the 2010 season, and although he drove in alot of runs, he disappointed in the power department.
Here are their stats for 2010:
| Name | PA | HR | R | RBI | SB | ISO | BABIP | AVG | OBP | SLG |
| David Wright | 670 | 29 | 87 | 103 | 19 | 0.22 | 0.335 | 0.283 | 0.354 | 0.503 |
| Alex Rodriguez | 595 | 30 | 74 | 125 | 4 | 0.236 | 0.274 | 0.27 | 0.341 | 0.506 |
Going into 2011 fantasy drafts, who would you rather have? I would pick Wright, since I like to draft the power/speed guys.
