Fantasy Debate: Wright vs Longoria

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Check out this ESPN Diamond Debate video below. Eric Karabell and Christopher Harris debate who’s the second best fantasy third baseman in baseball. Who would you pick? David Wright, Evan Longoria or someone else? I’m going to stick with Wright for one more year. I’m hoping his approach at the plate this year will be different and he should hit for a higher average and steal more bases than Longoria.
