Let's face it, the thought of drafting a designated hitter is about as appealing as hitting a designated drafter. The DH position really just sucks the life out of your team, as these are guys that will only qualify at the utility position and therefore cripple your flexibility. So, this is going to be short and sweet, and I'll go until I cannot see any reason to draft someone.
1. V. Guerrero -- I think the switch to Arlington will actually help Vlad top 20 HR, and he should still hit for a decent avergae, say .290 +. Therefore, he has a tiny amount of upsdie, which is more than you can say for the other two. Still, he is a late round flier type.
2. H. Matsui -- Only because there are rumors the halos may try to work him in the OF. The ballpark switch hurts here.
3. D. Ortiz -- His stats aren't going to be better than the .238-28-99 he put up last year. You can get that from a lot of players, like Russell Branyan, for instance.
That's it. Thome won't play enough, Kubel is OF eligible. Who else do you want? Travis Hafner? Ken Griffey? No thanks.
Cheers,
TFAM
