I think Arroyo with 16. >Best offensive year overall- Joey Votto Yeah...unless he's hurt most of the year this one is probably a no-brainer. >Worst decision by Baker- Hitting Stubbs/Cabrera 1-2, but he has no >choice. Let's just say I'm not at all in the anti-Baker camp and leave it at that. BTW, for Opening Day it's Dickerson and Cabrera hitting 1-2: Dickerson 8 Cabrera 6 Votto 3 Phillips 4 Rolen 5 Bruce 9 Nix 7 Hernandez 2 Harang 1 JK
