ESPN Insider: MLB Insider – Hall of Famers cite peers and pals

Rotoman:

My draft is coming up and I\’m having a hard time figuring out if Carlos Beltran will have a better year than Jose Cruz Jr or if Cruz will have a better year than Beltran. Who do you think will have a better year?

Last year, Beltran earned $39 in 4×4, while Cruz earned $33. I don’t think it is out of the realm of possibility that Beltran will have a better year, but I’m doubtful that Cruz will. Why?

Batting average. Beltran has it, Cruz does not.
