If you had to choose Dennis Rasmussen or Jeff Kent, but Kent had to bat left-handed, and the games were played underwater, which would you choose?

"And that makes for an intriguing question: if you could choose one or the other to put on your team for the rest of his career, which would it be, the Mets' shortstop - who had to leave Saturday's game after two innings his left hamstring tightness - or the Yankees' second baseman?"
That is not an intriguing question.

It's a moot question and a very dumb question.

But, if we're talking about right now ... as in July 3rd, 2011 ... I'll take the player who is not injured.
