A quiz for managers and GM’s…

By , 07:47 PM

I’ll use today’s games on the schedule for the “match-ups"…

We are going to play, “Who would you rather have at the plate (in a random PA) for your team?” Pitcher hand is not considered.

Paul Konerko or Denard Span?

Miguel Tejada or Jake Fox?

Cristian Guzman or Everth Cabrera (or Will Venable)?

Justin Upton or James Loney?

Robinson Cano or Nolan Reimold?

Nick Markakis or Derek Jeter?

Nelson Cruz or Aaron Hill?

Mark Ellis or Mark Teahen?

Franklin Guttierez or Howie Kendrick?

Griffey Jr. or Chone Figgins?

Willy Aybar or Brandon Inge?

And from the teams that aren’t playing today…

Todd Helton or Pablo Sandoval?

Dustin Pedroia or Shin-Soo Choo?

Luis Castillo or Jimmy Rollins?
