While a worthy case for MVP could be made for both players — such as the ones made here and here — we're here to determine something even more important: Which player will have more fantasy value in 2012?

Unlike third base and shortstop this year, outfield is extremely deep. In 2010, the average top-40 fantasy outfielder hit 22 homers, stole 20 base, scored 88 runs, knocked in 82 RBIs and hit .285. This speaks volumes to the depth of the position. While first- and second-round talents such as Braun, Crawford, CarGo, Holliday and Kemp are exciting to own, you’re probably better off filling your infield spots early in the draft. The likes of Alex Rios, Jacoby Ellsbury, Drew Stubbs, Ichiro Suzuki, Andre Ethier, Jay Bruce, Hunter Pence and Nick Markakis can all be drafted much later in the draft, and offer valuable production. Here’s the top 30...

Instead of improving on his near 30/100/100/30/.300 campaign, however, Kemp regressed in four of the five statistical categories, posting a (relatively) disappointing 28-HR, 82-run, 89-RBI, 19-steal, .249-average season. While some point to his well-publicized relationship with Rihanna or the mis-management of Joe Torre, I prefer to explore the tangible evidence, such as his relatively low BABIP and high strikeout rate...
David Aardsma signing with NYY, for $500K plus incentives, more about 2013 option--like Jon Leber once was. Aardsma had surgery last summer. With March 1 deadline looming,expectation within baseball continues to be 10-team playoff format will happen this year. Ironing out details.
