Poll

I posted a poll to the right under the links because I have the top pick in my AL-only keeper league and have not soldified a postion in one player's favor. Some help would be appreciated so please vote.

Brandon Wood's season was historic, but I worry about the size of the leap from 2004 to 2005 especially since he did it in hitter-friendly confines. The Angels also need to clear a spot for him

Alex Gordon seems more solid, but his only exposure to professional pitching was 50 ABs in the AFL. He does, however, have a much clearer path to the majors as Mark Teahan is an embarassment in the power department. When Gordon is recalled, he immediately begin to hit 5th. (Sorry, Emil, but Gordon will push you down a spot. So will Billy Butler.)

A very tough call. Also in Wood's favor, he hit 14 HRs in the AFL while Gordon was demonstrating good plate discipline over those 50 ABs.

For what it is worth, Delmon Young and BJ Upton is ineligble was selected last year. (An interesting question is whether he would make a difference.)
