I love both, but notice that two of Hamilton’s advantages are in team-based stats while Braun’s are skills-based. Braun has legit 40+ HR power even in the post-PED era. Notice how Hamilton’s RBIs dipped in 2nd half when Bradley played less and Kinsler was out with an injury. Braun is more bankable, but in the end both are superstars so it’s hard to make a “wrong” decision.

I’m curious why you put Braun 4 spots higher than Hamilton, I am trying to figure out my keeper and I am going back and forth between the two. Braun was better in HR, SB, and SLG%. Hamilton was better in Runs, RBI, and OBP. There wasn’t a huge difference in numbers except for OBP, Hamilton was about 36% higher. I like the upside of Braun, but feel the best of Hamilton is yet to come….

Paul, love the entry here. I'm going to touch on the 2009 OF depth in a few days, myself. For now, you can take a look at my introductory blog entry over at the Life of Brian before I throw the rest of my projections up later this week.
