Placido Polanco or Howie Kendrick?

Keeper league Kendrick.

Non keeper Polanco

He's bound to score a ton of runs atop that lineup, and hit .300 again.

I'm gonna go with Kendrick here.

Kendrick has hit for average at every level he's played at. So you can expect him to post at least a .300 his first full year in the big leagues. Also, Scioscia has said that he's going to let Kendrick run a bit more this year (something that Polanco doesn't do).

Yes, the Detroit Tigers are going to score a lot of runs this year. But the Angels offense isn't exactly going to struggle in that department either. With Guerrero, Hunter, and Anderson batting behind him, Kendrick will find the plate...a lot.

Take Kendrick with the hope that he'll be able to offer you a little bit more in HRs and SBs while putting up similar numbers in AVG and Rs.

about as much a wash as it gets. Polanco last year had an amazing season for him. Career year. I don't think he repeats. But this is for sure, he in Detroit. That line up is truly sick. Angels are not bad, but Detroit will put up runs. I put my money on Polanco, but don't expect a .340 avg again. that said, i wouldn't call taking kenrick bad or say you where an idiot for taking him over Polanco. But I pick Polanco.

Kendrick in a keeper or redraft.
