 Carlos Lee or Brad Wilkerson - Fantasy Baseball Cafe 2006
The reason I go toward Wilkerson is that Lee's runs, hr, rbi have a good chance of going down outside of hitter friendly Chicago, and he will not have anyone like Knoerko, Ordonez, and Thomas to help him out in Milwalkee.
Wilkerson, on the other hand, shouldnt be affected by RFK (or, at least we dont know quite how he will be affected), and has OK players around him, so I see his numbers staying put or even going up...and to top it off, Wilkerson is eligable at 1B in addition to OF.
Brad Wilkerson isn't in the same class as Carlos Lee...anyone who can't crack 70 RBI's while hitting 30+ HR's is a fantasy disaster
