As with my RF thread, my situation is that I have money to burn, a deep keeper list, and only a few roster needs heading into the auction. One need is Corner, and by far the best available guys are Votto, Freeman, and Encarnacion. They were all taken right around the same time in the RJ Mock draft. I'm wondering, given their perceived value/costs, which everyone prefers? Who should be my primary target of these three and why?

I just want to make sure I'm not over-hyping him, and I should note this is a points league, so Votto's walks are counted.

It depends on what you need. For more power, EE is the obvious choice. For more rounded performance, Votto and Freeman both work and probably will end up at about the same place. Freeman probably has the most upside as he is the youngest and the Braves lineup is probably better than it was last year, while Cincy could get ugly.

Points league, for this year only, I'd go with Votto. His walks give him a pretty strong floor in a points league; though I agree with Pauly there's signs of decline. If this is any kind of keeper league, Freeman is your man.
All that said, I don't think you go terribly wrong with any of the three.I'm just here for the baseball.

I'd go Freeman, Votto, EE but like others have said very close. If it's OBP then Votto would be top choice.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I think I am on board with ranking them Freeman, Votto, EE. Unlike with Cruz vs Bautista vs Trumbo, where I fear my league will push Cruz's price way past the other two, I'm cautiously hopeful that Freeman's price will stay in line with these two. Then again, I'm reading a lot of hype articles on Freeman, so he might also shoot past the other two on price.
