Carmleo Duran OR Dakila Hizon Duran started for me last year as I developed him as a 1B. He had a rough start but a strong second half. He has a good OBP because he walks a fair amount. His 19 PD helped him get to his 71/51 BB/K ratio. Hizon was a free agent signee this off-season. He is a 16 H who has struggled with other teams in the regular season. This spring he has been amazing for me: .308, 6 2B, 4 HR, 12 RBI, 10 BB, 11 SB, .429 OBP So which would you choose? Duran has a full season in the majors with "ok" success. Hizon has never been good in the majors, but is having a stand-out spring.
