Wagers of 2014. Made this one with my boss. Total point difference for three players: avg/hr/rbi C. Young .271/22/62 Granderson .261/31/111, Lagares .251/4/55 his: young: .228/18/51: grandy: .252/21/78 : lagares: .248/8/41

I take your boss' numbers. No way Granderson does 31/111 on this team in this stadium.

Especially if Ike channels .440 OBP and bats third. of course if they swap I'm screwed particularly if Eric Young Jr gets leadoff time.

And I think Chris Young is more likely to hit .220 than .270. I also suspect that Eric Young will see more outfield time than Juan Lagares. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm getting the sense that Terry is a big Eric fan.

Hard to imagine Young not getting any leadoff time. If he survives camp, he's going to bat leadoff.

Lagares looks good and they decide his defense is worth it. Batting average particularly, and RBI as well, are a lot of luck anyway so who really knows what Chris Young will hit. .270 of course is higher than he's ever hit, but big Citi Field and some luck and who knows.

You don't go broke betting on incumbents.

Eric is the best Young on the team...
