Bloody, I agree with everything you have said. Again, my statement has been and still is, they are similar players at this point and time statistically.
Ortiz, 4 years younger than Delgado of course has a higher ceiling and may well surpass Delgado at some point. If I was given the choice of which player I would take in a 4 year deal I would certainly take Ortiz. That was never the point I was making.
Quote:As far as what Hedcold said, I'm not considering contracts and length of career, i'm simply comparing the players as they are now and what they would do for a team in 2006. I would certainly take Delgado over Sheffield in a deal of 3-4 years.
